- The Dodgers just landed two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, instantly upgrading an already elite rotation and likely installing him as their Game 1 ace — and if Shohei Ohtani returns, they look even more unbeatable.
- The price was shockingly light (a few prospects), sparking industry fury and leaving rivals like the Brewers frustrated at how LA leveraged its deep farm system.
- With Skubal off the board the pitching market now accelerates — expect a flurry of deadline moves as contenders scramble for arms or concede the Dodgers as the team to beat.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- Freddy Peralta was traded from the Mets to the Rays and will join a strong Tampa Bay rotation featuring Shane McClanahan, Drew Rasmussen and Nick Martinez.
- The Mets received three top-30 Rays prospects in return: outfielder Aidan Smith, infielder Émilien Pitre and pitcher Gary Gill Hill.
- Peralta has struggled this year but is inexpensive through the season, so the Rays are taking a low-risk bet he can bounce back for the stretch run.
- Trump Media launched "Truth API," selling institutional customers early, paid access to posts from prominent Truth Social accounts — including President Trump — with reports the service could cost up to $100,000 a month.
- Critics say it could let buyers profit from market-moving presidential posts and even raise insider-trading and ethical concerns, arguing ordinary investors could get hurt.
- Others counter that most posts are noise and won’t reliably pay off, so the service might be overpriced or ineffective even if controversial.
- Giants likely to trade Luis Arráez before Monday’s deadline, with heavy interest from teams like the Rays, Rangers and Phillies (also checked in: Red Sox, Yankees, Guardians, Padres).
- Arráez is having a strong season — former batting champion hitting .328 with an .810 OPS — which explains the buzz.
- He’s on a one-year, expiring deal and can play first or second, making him an attractive rental pickup for contenders.
