The New York Yankees pulled themselves out of the running for Eugenio Suárez, and now Jon Heyman believes the Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners are the leaders.

The Cubs have a lot of background information on Houser, who has suddenly re-emerged to become the new ace on the South Side.

The Sox throttled Cubs ace Shota Imanaga and homered four times to grab their sixth win in seven games, a stretch in which they've scored 61 runs.

The Chicago Cubs haven't been to the playoffs in a full season since 2018 and that was just one game, as they lost the Wild Card back when it was a one-and-done. They're coming off back-to-back 83-win seasons.

The Chicago Cubs may have their eyes on landing a new centerpiece of the bullpen at next week's trade deadline.

Rookies and veterans alike have bolstered a resurgent White Sox offense since the All-Star break, but some players could soon be dealt.

As the trade deadline nears, those close to Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara are making it known he is bracing for himself to be traded in the next week.

David Schoenfield of ESPN wrote in his article, "MLB trade deadline dominoes for 10 biggest names on 2025 market", that the Boston Red Sox should trade for Pirates right-handed starting pitcher Mitch Keller.
