The MLB Trade Deadline is fast approaching on July 31, and as a result, trade rumors are flying across the league as talks heat up. The market around pitchers like Yu Darvish continues to be the main storyline and teams are making final decisions on if they'll be buyers or sellers. Here are all the latest MLB trade rumors you need to know from the hot stove.
Yu Darvish Interest
The Texas Rangers might not trade Darvish, but other teams are interested in landing the ace.

The Yankees also sent a scout to watch Darvish, while the Rangers have scouted the Cubs and Dodgers' farm systems. Darvish is a free agent after this year and the Rangers could lose him in free agency. Texas is on the fringe of contending, with a 46-50 record and several games back in the wild card race. Despite being a rental, Darvish should command a high price if the Rangers do elect to deal him.
Jaime Garcia
The Minnesota Twins nearly landed a Jaime Garcia in a trade with the Atlanta Braves, but it has fallen apart.
Sources: Garcia trade stalled due to #Braves’ medical concern on #Twins’ prospect. Still could revive, but both teams working alternatives.

Source: RHP Nick Burdi was prospect going from #Twins to #Braves in Garcia deal before talks stalled. Underwent Tommy John surgery in May.

In the meantime, the Braves are looking at other options in Garcia trades. He was sharp against the Dodgers, which has driven up interest.
Looks like J Garcia's strong outing vs the Dodgers has piqued interest. As many as 8 teams talking to Braves, some more intense than others.

Garcia holds a 4-7 record with a 4.30 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP.

Brewers Interested In Ian Kinsler
The Brewers, a surprise team this year, are looking for win-now moves.
The Brewers are digging into the possibility of acquiring Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) July 22, 2017
Current second baseman Jonathan Villar was coming off a breakout season, but has hit just .223 this year. The older Kinsler hasn't been as great in recent years, hitting .244, although his defense is still solid.
