The All–Star break is over, and teams are starting the second half of the season.
The race to make moves before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is two weeks away, and teams in the contention looking to pick up a big bat or solidify their starting rotation for a playoff run are making calls around the league.
The biggest name of the summer trade market is gone after All–Star shortstop Manny Machado who was traded to the Dodgers from the Orioles. But while that deal is complete, others are expected in the weeks ahead.
Here is the latest news and rumors from around the league:
• Mets want only elite upper-level prospects or MLB players in exchange for Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, making a deal before the deadline more unlikely.
