Cubs Trade Brewing? Braves Pitcher Listed As Fit In Deadline Deal
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. The Chicago Cubs have worked tirelessly for the last few months to build a powerhouse roster with a real chance to win a World Series. To this point, they've done an incredible job of that. With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Cubs have room for one or two more big moves that could move the needle down the stretch. FanSided's Aldo Soto recently suggested the Cubs could make a move for struggling Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias in an attempt to add some value in a buy-low deal. ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Raisel Iglesias #26 of the Atlanta Braves pitches against the Texas Rangers during the game at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Raisel Iglesias #26 of the Atlanta Braves pitches against the Texas Rangers during the game at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington, Texas."That's where Raisel Iglesias comes into play and although his 4.97 ERA this year will be greeted by loud groans from Cubs fans he's been much better as of late," Soto wrote. "Since June 8, Iglesias has recorded a 2.55 ERA in 17 1/3 innings with 21 strikeouts to four walks in 19 appearances. Four of the five runs that he's allowed came in one outing against the New York Yankees on July 19. "Iglesias has more than a decade of MLB experience and has a healthy track record to lean on. He has 236 career saves, including 67 with the Atlanta Braves from 2023-24. The 35-year-old has similar peripherals to his 2024 season, when he had a 1.95 ERA in 66 games." While Iglesias hasn't been an All-World closer this year, the Cubs wouldn't need him to be that in the Windy City. Chicago could likely swing a deal for the righty for a lot less than some of the bigger names on the market, which makes the deal that much more enticing to pursue. Adding Iglesias to the backend of the bullpen would be an upgrade for the Cubs, no matter how poorly he threw early in the season. The righty looks solid right now, so adding him in the seventh, eighth, or ninth inning role for Craig Counsell's team would be a great move to make. More MLB: Shane Bieber Deal?

Díaz's walk-off single lifts the Padres to a wild 7-6 win against the Mets
SAN DIEGO -- Elías Díaz singled with two outs in the ninth inning to bring in Jose Iglesias with the winning run, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-6 in a wild game Monday night to end their seven-game winning streak. The Padres chased Díaz into shallow right field in celebration. Iglesias, who played for New York last year, reached on a bunt that new Mets reliever Gregory Soto (0-3) fielded and threw wide of shortstop Francisco Lindor, allowing Xander Bogaerts to take second. Iglesias advanced on Jake Cronenworth's bunt that forced Bogaerts at third and then scored on Díaz's single to left-center. Ronny Mauricio tied the game for the NL East-leading Mets with a one-out homer in the ninth off All-Star closer Robert Suarez (3-4), who was trying for his major league-leading 31st save. Padres starter Dylan Cease was hit in the back of the head by a one-hopper off Lindor's bat with one out in the third, but remained in the game after being checked by trainers. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected one batter later by plate umpire Emil Jimenez after Juan Soto took a called third strike. The Mets took a 5-1 lead in the fifth when Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam, one inning after right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob him of a two-run homer. The Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning, on seven hits and a walk, as well as a break when reliever Huascar Brazobán was late covering first on Cronenworth's two-out shot to first baseman Pete Alonso that went for an RBI single. The highlight was Luis Arraez's two-run homer high off the right-field foul pole followed by an epic bat flip. Tatis robbing Vientos and then making a sliding catch of Mauricio's sinking liner in the sixth. It was the Padres' fifth walk-off win this season. Mets LHP Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.19 ERA), who pitched for the Padres in 2022, is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn't announced a starter. ___

Atlanta Braves taking specific approach to MLB trade deadline, impact on who could be traded
The Atlanta Braves placed All-Star third baseman Austin Riley on the injured list this weekend, the latest blow for a team that has fallen well short of expectations this season. Sitting well below the .500 mark as the MLB trade deadline nears, Atlanta has informed buyers of its approach to being sellers this summer. According to Fansided's MLB reporter Robert Murray, the Braves will not listen to trade inquiries on any player on their roster who is under team control for multiple seasons. As a result, this gives them a very small pool of potential trade candidates in late July. Advertisement Related: Atlanta Braves game today, Braves schedule 2025 It immediately rules out any hopes a rival club might have of acquiring Chris Sale, Ronald Acuña Jr, Sean Murphy or Daysbel Hernández. Instead, contending clubs will have to operate on a very short list of options and that pool in itself could be even more limited. The most prominent players on the Braves roster who are on expiring contracts, per Spotrac, are Marcell Ozuna Raisel Iglesias and Rafael Montero. However, it's hard to see either of Atlanta's two relief pitchers having much trade value right now. Montero, age 35, has been fairly effective (3.72 ERA and 1.21 WHIP) across 29 innings pitched for Atlanta. Opponents have posted a .189/.289/.274 triple-slash line against him this year, so he could be an effective middle reliever for a contender. Although acquiring teams might be wary about a veteran with a 4.94 ERA over the previous two seasons, there would likely be only a minimal return for the Braves.

The 6-foot-2 righty holds a 4.54 ERA this season, allowing a .789 OPS to opponents. Any team that acquired him would also be on the hook for just under half of his $16 million salary, with any trade return for him likely requiring Atlanta to send cash considerations to the team acquiring Iglesias. As for Ozuna, who is playing through a hip injury, the 34-year-old designated hitter has a .676 OPS over his last 61 games and a .172/.260/.281 triple-slash line with just 3 home runs in 128 at-bats since June 1. With his trade value at an all-time low in a contract year, the Braves might have to keep him past the MLB trade deadline. Related Headlines
