The Tigers lost two straight to the Royals and now are 50-56 -- 3.5 games back of Cleveland for the final wild card, with Minnesota, Houston, Seattle and Baltimore also ahead of Detroit.

The Tarik Skubal decision is coming. And losing to KC doesn't help their case to keep him.

Teams interested in Hunter Goodman are resisting the Rockies’ early asking price because of their dissatisfaction with his work behind the plate, per
@Ken_Rosenthal


“Multiple major-league executives estimate the chances of Goodman getting traded at about 30 percent. That percentage, however, could increase in the coming days.”

Per
@nickpiecoro
: the Dbacks reportedly floated a Connelly Early type of deal to the Red Sox, but Boston passed. They weren’t interested in a guy who still leans more prospect than proven.

Names like Ryan Waldschmidt, Tommy Troy, and Tim Tawa didn’t move the needle for them.

Diamondbacks predicted to trade for Nationals' 21 home run hitter

Arizona has a pretty clear need in the infield.

If the Padres shop Mason Miller their initial ask will be at LEAST two top-100 prospects, per
@Ken_Rosenthal


(https://nytimes.com/athletic/746241...&source=user_shared_article&smid=ta-ios-share)

Instead of 2 top 100s, I've got a Sewald with a little life left in him. He's very entertaining and might even get you to pee your pants when he pitches. What do you say? Straight up trade?

The catching market has six suitors (NYY, BOS, TB, CHW, TEX, LAD), but the options aren't overwhelming. One name to watch: Liam Hicks of the Marlins. Sources say Miami is open to trading Hicks, who has played more at 1B/DH than C thanks to the presence of Joe Mack.
