Former GM Calls MLB Trade Deadline 'The Most Bizarre I Can Remember'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Circumstances beyond the control of major league teams have conspired to create a confounding week for MLB executives looking to improve their teams' fortunes before Thursday's trade deadline. Jim Bowden of MLB Network on SiriusXM and The Athletic, writing on his Twitter/X account Tuesday, rattled off a variety of unusual issues that combine to make this year's deadline "the most bizarre I can ever remember." This is most bizarre trade deadline I can ever remember: some of best starting pitchers having subpar yrs incl: Cease,Gallen,Alcantara; the best closer Clase on Admin leave; the best Pwr hitter Suarez gets HBP; the best 2 CF Robert and Mullins struggle & best avail DH Ozuna… — Jim Bowden⚾️ (@JimBowdenGM) July 29, 2025 Those issues include: · Three of the best starting pitchers reported to be made available in trades — San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease, Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen, and Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara — are suffering through arguably the worst seasons of their careers. · Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, whom Bowden reported was available in trades last week, was placed on paid administrative leave by MLB on Monday while the league investigates unusual betting activity related to his on-field performance. · Eugenio Suarez, who is tied for the MLB lead in RBIs, was injured Monday when he was hit by a pitch in the Diamondbacks' game in Detroit, leaving his health in doubt just three days before Thursday's 6 p.m. ET deadline. · Center fielders Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox and Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles, both Silver Slugger Award winners in the past, are hitting .205 and .221, respectively. · Three-time All-Star Marcell Ozuna, who's hitting .233 himself, can block any trade because of his veteran status (players with 10 years in the league, and five with their current team, have the right to veto any trade). More news: MLB Puts Guardians All-Star on Paid Leave in Connection With Gambling Probe None of these factors suggest Thursday will be an exciting trade deadline — or, at least, one in which several big-name stars change teams. Most if not all of the best available players are struggling in one way or another.

MoreBaseball executives sometimes struggle with decisiveness as it is. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Tuesday that four teams just outside the postseason bubble — the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers — haven't signaled to other teams whether they will buy or sell.

Bowden, the former Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds, reported Tuesday that Alcantara's market is heating up in spite of his performance, and "there is a real chance he gets traded by Thursday."

D-backs (and Tigers) await news on Eugenio Suarez's hand
July 29 - There was plenty of drama during the first game of the Arizona-Detroit series on Monday night, though it had little to do with the outcome. The Tigers and Diamondbacks will play the second game of the three-game series on Tuesday evening in Detroit. The Diamondbacks and the many trade suitors for Eugenio Suarez got a huge scare in the ninth inning when the slugging third baseman was hit in the hand by a Will Vest pitch. Suarez said afterward that X-rays on his index finger were negative. He planned to have more tests on Tuesday. "Right now, it's painful, obviously. The good news is the X-ray was negative," he said postgame. "We'll see (Tuesday) what else they're going to do. Right now, I will do my best to try to be back soon." The Tigers are one of many teams reportedly interested in the services of Suarez, who is among the top five in the majors with 36 homers. Detroit won the series opener 5-1 and will seek a third straight victory following a six-game slide. The Tigers' roster is in flux. Outfielder Kerry Carpenter was activated from the injured list on Sunday. The team learned on Monday that starting pitcher Reese Olson would miss at least the remainder of the regular season with a shoulder injury, so the Tigers acquired Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins to replace him. Detroit also placed outfielder Parker Meadows on the IL with a quad issue. Andy Ibanez, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo, gave the offense a spark with a double and solo homer Monday night. "I told (Ibanez) before the game, don't try to make up for lost time in one game," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "So if that's his way of just settling in -- bam, double, homer. I know it means a lot to him. It crushed him to be sent down. But he went down, did his work and waited for the next opportunity." American League All-Star Casey Mize (9-4, 3.40 ERA), who is scheduled to start for the Tigers on Tuesday, has gotten roughed up in his past two starts. The right-hander allowed six runs in three innings to the Seattle Mariners just before the break, then yielded five runs (four earned) and 10 hits in four innings at Pittsburgh last Tuesday in an 8-5 loss. "I just look at myself and what I can do better," Mize said. "I think the role of the starting pitcher is so important, just setting the tone for the game and not having those guys on the field for too long." Mize, who will face the Diamondbacks for the first time, originally was scheduled to pitch on Monday. He was given an extra day of rest after experiencing some minor knee tightness. Right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (10-6, 4.76 ERA), Mize's mound opponent, has delivered three straight solid starts. He held the San Diego Padres to two runs in eight innings on July 9. In his first outing after the All-Star break, Pfaadt tossed seven scoreless innings against St. Louis. In his latest start, he was charged with two runs in 5 1/3 innings in his team's 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Wednesday. Pfaadt didn't give up a run in the first five innings but was pulled shortly after allowing back-to-back doubles in the sixth. "Ran into some trouble in the sixth, and (it) came back to bite us," said Pfaadt, who will face the Tigers for the first time in his career. "That's what's most disappointing." --Field Level Media

Detroit Tigers take home 5-1 win against Arizona Diamondbacks in first game of series
Rookie Troy Melton pitched seven scoreless innings in his second career start, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Monday night. Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez, who has 36 homers this season and is a candidate to be traded to a contender, left the game in the ninth inning after being hit on the right hand by a pitch. Melton, who made his major league debut in a loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday, gave up five singles and didn't allow a runner to reach scoring position. He struck out five and walked none. Andy Ibáñez, recalled from Triple-A Toledo before the game, doubled and scored twice. The Tigers have won two straight since losing 12 of 13. Former Tiger Eduardo Rodriguez (3-7) gave up five runs on eight hits in six innings.
