Split doubleheader: Domínguez traded from Orioles to Blue Jays in between games against each other
Domínguez did not pitch in the the opener, which the Orioles won 16-4. Then the trade — Domínguez for minor league right-hander Juaron Watts-Brown — was announced about an hour before the scheduled first pitch of the nightcap.
Domínguez is 2-3 with a 3.24 ERA in 43 relief appearances this season. The last-place Orioles have also traded away relievers Bryan Baker and Gregory Soto as part of what has been a mild sell-off so far.
The AL East-leading Blue Jays had a bullpen ERA of 3.94, which ranked in the middle of the pack heading into Tuesday's second game. Domínguez, who was in his sixth season with the Philadelphia Phillies when the right-hander was traded to Baltimore around this time last year, can help.
The 23-year-old Watts-Brown was ranked as Toronto's No. 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He's 2-5 with a 3.54 ERA in 19 starts at Class A and Double-A this year.

Rebuilding Guardians trade pitchers Shane Bieber and Paul Sewald to contending Blue Jays and Tigers
CLEVELAND — Pitcher Shane Bieber is headed to the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays in a deal with the rebuilding Cleveland Guardians, who also dealt right-hander Paul Sewald in the division to the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers on Thursday. However, All-Star outfielder Steven Kwan remains in Cleveland despite attracting a lot of interest. The Guardians are 54-54 going into this weekend's series against Minnesota and in second place in the AL Central, nine games behind Detroit. They are three games out of the final wild-card spot, but their moves could signal this has become a spiraling season. Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase, a three-time All-Star, was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of a Major League Baseball investigation into sports betting on Monday. Luis Ortiz also is on non-disciplinary leave through Aug. 31, stemming from an investigation regarding in-game prop bets on two pitches thrown by the right-hander that received higher activity than usual during his starts at Seattle on June 15 and against St. Louis on June 27. The gambling activity on the pitches was flagged by a betting integrity firm and forwarded to MLB. The Guardians lost 10 straight from June 26 to July 6, but their 14-6 record since July 7 is the second-best mark in the majors. 'We have a lot to weigh around this time of year. The unexpected developments recently (with Clase and Ortiz) were certainly one of them,' said Chris Antonetti, Cleveland's president of baseball operations. 'But in the end, I think we feel good about the roster that we have for the balance of 2025 and are excited about our future." Many thought Kwan might be moved at the deadline, but the three-time All-Star is staying put. Kwan — who is batting .286 with nine home runs and 38 RBIs — is under team control through 2027 with the possibility of both sides discussing an extension during the offseason. 'Not only do we have a profound appreciation for what he's able to contribute on the baseball field and in the clubhouse, but so does the rest of Major League Baseball. We are really excited that he will continue to be with us moving forward,' Antonetti said. Bieber, who is working his way back from April 2024 Tommy John surgery, has made five rehab starts. His most recent outing was Tuesday for Double-A Akron, in which he allowed one run on three hits and struck out seven in four innings. His next rehab start was scheduled for Sunday. Antonetti said teams began checking about Bieber's availability in late June despite him being shut down for a month after experiencing soreness with the elbow after his first rehab start. Talks began ramping up again though over the past couple weeks. 'I think with the way information has progressed over the course of the last 10 or 12 years, teams were able to get a really good feel of where Shane was in his rehab progression. They were able to not only get the video but get all the pitch metrics, in addition to maybe some scouting,' Antonetti said. 'I think that there were teams that felt good about where Shane was in his rehab and what the path for him might be moving forward.' The Guardians are getting right-hander Khal Stephen from the Blue Jays. After the trade deadline passed, they claimed right-hander Carlos Hernández on waivers from Detroit. Bieber had spent his entire career in Cleveland, including winning the AL Cy Young Award in 2020. He has a career record of 62-32 with a 3.22 ERA and 958 strikeouts in 136 games, with 134 starts since his debut in 2018. He agreed to a one-year, $14 million contract last fall with a $16 million player option for 2026. The 22-year old Stephen has a combined record of 9-1 with a 2.06 ERA in 18 games, with 17 starts, in the Blue Jays' farm system this season. He was a second-round selection (59th overall) by Toronto in the 2024 amateur draft. He made one start for Double-A New Hampshire following his promotion on July 20 before being placed on the injured list with right shoulder impingement. Cleveland traded Sewald to Detroit for a player to be named later. The Tigers bolstered their bullpen with the 35-year-old Sewald, who was eligible to return from the injured list on Sunday after being shut down with a strained right shoulder. Sewald is 1-1 with a 4.70 ERA in 18 games this season, averaging more than one strikeout each inning. He is 21-26 with a 4.11 ERA with 86 saves in 377 appearances with the New York Mets, Seattle, Arizona and Cleveland. The 28-year old Hernández has split time this season between Philadelphia and Detroit. In 36 appearances he is 1-0 with a 6.69 ERA.

Anonymous player rips Twins
The 2025 MLB trade deadline has passed. Follow along for live reaction and analysis after an active week around the league. Getty Images One Minnesota Twins player just told The Athletic : 💬 'Now no one wants to stay if they are selling like this.' The Blue Jays woke up on deadline day seeking more bullpen help, starting pitching depth and potentially a bat. After acquiring Shane Bieber, they are not done, a league source said, with two hours until the deadline. At the very least, bullpen remains a priority. Though the Jays asked on Mason Miller, they were priced out by the Padres' massive offer, a source said. Duran was seen as more attainable, with Toronto holding the top prospects to acquire him, but he's now the Phillies closer. Other top relief options continue to fall off the board — including David Bednar to the Yankees — but many arms remain. Getty Images Houston selected Carlos Correa with the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft and witnessed him blossom into one of the faces of its current golden era, leading the team to a 2017 World Series title. Correa won American League Rookie of the Year honors in 2015 and started an ascension to superstardom. He became one of the most influential voices inside Houston's clubhouse, helping to shepherd it through the fallout from the electronic sign-stealing scandal in 2020 and 2021. Getty Images Astros fans are no strangers to Carlos Correa but here's an update on how he's performed this season: .267/.319/.386 slash line 92 OPS+ Seven home runs and 31 RBIs .282 expected batting average (83rd percentile) 91.1 mph average exit velocity (73rd percentile) 47.4% hard-hit percentage (79th percentile) 29.8% chase rate (34th percentile) Fielding run value (36th percentile) 27th percentile in range Getty Images The Astros are 'working hard' to acquire Dylan Cease from the Padres, source tells The Athletic. No indication at this point that a deal is close. Getty Images The Minnesota Twins have been the most aggressive sellers on the market. They've made four trades, and including two for long-term assets that seemed unlikely to move just a few days ago. Here's who they've traded away. S P Chris Paddack — Free agent this winter — Free agent this winter RP Randy Dobnak — Team option (to be declined) — Team option (to be declined) OF Harrison Bader — Mutual option — Mutual option RP Jhoan Durán — Arbitration eligible through 2027 — Arbitration eligible through 2027 SS Carlos Correa — Signed through 2028 (with club options through '32) The Twins could still make a splash by trading any one of SP Joe Ryan, SP Pablo López or RP Griffin Jax, but even without dealing another long-term asset, the Twins could still make several moves in the next hour and a half. INF Willi Castro, LHP Danny Coulombe, 1B Ty France, and C Christian Vázquez are all heading to free agency this winter. The Twins could trade any of all of them... and sure enough, Coulombe was just dealt, per our Ken Rosenthal . Getty Images Source confirms: Rangers are acquiring LHP Danny Coulombe from the Twins. This was first reported by ESPN. Getty Images Astros are acquiring outfielder Jesús Sánchez from Marlins, source tells The Athletic . Getty Images A Twins source told me two hours ago after Brock Stewart was traded: "There's definitely more coming." I'd like to nominate that for Understatement of the Year. Getty Images Wow. The Astros swooped in to bring back a familiar face for the second time in three trade deadlines. In 2023, they pulled off a stunner by bringing back Justin Verlander from the Mets at the trade deadline. Two years later, it's another key figure from the 2017 World Series run returning to Houston — Carlos Correa. A major-league source confirms to The Athletic that Astros close to acquiring Carlos Correa from Twins. Correa will play third base for the Astros, replacing the injured Isaac Paredes. He won 2015 AL Rookie of the Year and the 2017 World Series as a shortstop during his first stint in Houston. Like any team, the Mets will always keep looking, but barring something unexpected, they may be done may be done from a big acquisition standpoint after accomplishing what they set out to do, people familiar with their plans said. It's an impressive deadline for president of baseball operations David Stearns and his front office. The Mets acquired right-handed relievers Ryan Helsley and Taylor Rogers, left-handed reliever Gregory Soto and center fielder Cedric Mullins without relinquishing a blue-chip prospect. Getty Images With two hours to go til the deadline, these names — all of whom have been connected to rumors for weeks — are still on the board: Ryan O'Hearn, Mitch Keller, Luis Robert, Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera, Griffin Jax, Joe Ryan, Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, Dylan Cease, Marcell Ozuna, Zach Eflin, Charlie Morton, Bryan Reynolds, Andrew Heaney, Ramon Laureano, Jarren Duran, Steven Kwan. I fully suspect this post to age like an avocado left on the countertop. Buckle in... Getty Images Here's how the Yankees bullpen shapes up after their latest flurry of moves: David Bednar , RHP , RHP Devin Williams , RHP , RHP Luke Weaver , RHP , RHP Jake Bird , RHP , RHP Tim Hill , RHP , RHP Jonathan Loaisiga , RHP , RHP Ian Hamilton , RHP , RHP Also in the mix: Brent Headric k, RHP; Yerry De Los Santos , RHP; JT Brubaker k, RHP; , RHP; Injured list: Mark Leiter Jr. , RHP , RHP Injured list: Fernando Cruz, RHP GO FURTHER Yankees keep stockpiling relievers by adding Jake Bird from Rockies The Dodgers are sending James Outman – who two years ago finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting – to Minnesota as part of the Brock Stewart trade. The center fielder's stock has fallen since then, as some of the strikeout issues that littered his minor league scouting reports have come to pass. He still struck out 30.3 percent of the time this season in Triple A and was effectively just a defense replacement and a pinch runner on the current big league roster. The Dodgers are seeking outfield help, but it appeared clear that Outman was no longer part of the solution. So they're using him to help get a controllable reliever at a lower cost than some of the other options on the market. Imagn Images Yankees sending 2B Roc Riggio and LHP Ben Shields to Rockies, source tells The Athletic . first had the return. Getty Images Continuing a frenetic, all-in deadline day, Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller surrendered a pair of young pitchers with loads of club control in order to acquire a new starting catcher in Freddy Fermin. Ryan Bergert, a rookie, and Stephen Kolek, a second-year big-leaguer, supplied valuable innings this season for a Padres team that has missed veteran starters Michael King and Yu Darvish for chunks of time. With the departure of the young right-handers, the Padres could opt to keep Dylan Cease, barring a big offer for the pending free-agent starter. The Padres, according to people familiar with their thinking, are still determined to acquire a left fielder before 6 p.m. ET, with Baltimore's Ramón Laureano among the possibilities. Since the start of Thursday, Preller already has traded elite shortstop prospect Leo De Vries, Kolek and pitching prospects Bergert, Braden Nett, Henry Baez and Eduarniel Núñez. He still has some interesting minor leaguers left to offer, including catcher Ethan Salas and pitchers Boston Bateman, Kash Mayfield and Miguel Mendez.
