MLB Rumors: Yankees to Consider Miguel Andujar, Clint Frazier Trade For Pitching
The MLB trade deadline is now less than a week away but still no blockbuster deals have taken place. But there is still a wealth of talent left of the market, especially for teams in need of starting pitching.
Noah Syndergaard is the biggest pitching name on the market, with the Mets potentially dealing their ace before the July 31 deadline. The Blue Jays sent starter Marcus Stroman to Queens on Sunday, and a slim chance remains for trades of Madison Bumgarner and Trevor Bauer.
There is no waiver trade deadline this season so teams need to finalize their plans moving forward before then.
