A few deals have come together in the past week, notablyJosh Naylor(Mariners) andRyan McMahon(Yankees) finding new homes. Some of the other top players who have surfaced in trade rumors areArizona DiamondbackssluggerEugenio SuárezandMiami MarlinspitcherSandy Alcantara. Suárez is in the midst of a spectacular season, on pace for 55 home runs and 133 RBIs, while former Cy Young winner Alcantara has struggled after missing all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery. Top contenders will be jockeying to add to their lineups, rotations and bullpens for the stretch run with the ultimate goal of playing deep into October. Follow along on Monday for the latest news and rumors: TheHouston Astroswould like to find a third baseman while Isaac Paredes recovers from his hamstring tear but have no interest in reigniting talks with theSt. Louis Cardinalsfor third baseman Nolan Arenado,USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale writes. The two teams agreed to a trade during the winter, and theAstroshad permission to speak to Arenado, but they couldn't convince him they were still going to contend this year. "We tried to convince him that we're not rebuilding, that the window is always open with our owner," GM Dana Brown said. "We planned to compete in 2025 and beyond. He misunderstood the plan." The Astros could make a play for slugging third baseman Eugenio Suarez of the Diamondbacks. However, the team could also use a left-handed bat to balance out the lineup. Switch-hitting utilityman Willi Castro of the Twins might fit the bill – and he could help out elsewhere if/when Paredes returns,The Athletic's Chandler Rome reports. With all five members of their opening day rotation now on the injured list, the struglgingAtlanta Braveshave added a veteran starter. Erick Fedde, who was designated for assignment by the St. Louis Cardinals last week, fills the void in Atlanta's rotation after Grant Holmes hit the injured list with elbow inflammation. He joins fellow rotation mates Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, Reynaldo Lopez and A.J. Smith-Shawver on the 60-day IL. The Braves acquired Fedde (3-10, 5.22 ERA this season) in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Royals right-hander Seth Lugo was considered one of the top pitching names on the trade market, but Kansas City put that to rest late Sunday night. According to multiple reports, includingESPN's Jeff Passan, Lugo has agreed to a two-year contract extension with a vesting option for 2028 with the team. Lugo is 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA in 19 starts this season after finishing second in the AL Cy Young voting in 2024 with 206⅔ innings pitched, a 16-9 record and a 3.00 ERA in 33 starts. "Do I think there's a chance we make more trades? Yes, I do," Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen said. "I think there's going to be enough interest that we probably will have to look at — think long and hard about what we're doing. I just don't know the extent to which that's going to happen and how many that's going to be." He said interest in his veterans on expiring deals — namely right-handers Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen and third baseman Eugenio Suarez — has been strong, though he admitted his group has not yet focused its attention on those players.– Nick Piecoro, Arizona Republic TheNew York YankeesacquiredAmed Rosarioin a trade with theWashington Nationals, providing depth as a player who has the versatility to play all around the infield. Rosario has started 20 games at third base and 13 games at second base for the Nationals this season. He's also proven to be trouble for left-handed pitchers. He's batting .299 with an .816 OPS against lefties in 2025. Rosario joined the Nationals this season after spending time with five other teams over the first eight seasons of his major league career. He signed a one-year deal worth $2 million during the offseason and will become a free agent after the season concludes.– James H. Williams After tossing seven strong innings in his last start, Sandy Alcantara's name is back atop deadline wish lists, withUSA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale reportingthat trade interest has soared.
