This trade deadline flipped the script—starting pitchers are now the hottest commodity, with teams paying premium prices for arms that can dominate deep into October games. Young talent is also getting a spotlight, with some teams even trading for 16-year-olds to build for the future. Freddy Peralta heads to Tampa Bay, where his mechanical woes might be fixed by their legendary pitching staff and changeup expertise. Meanwhile, the Yankees’ top young outfielders are still finding their footing, forcing the team to bring in veterans for offense. And the Dodgers? They’re doubling down on depth, adding another lefty reliever—even if he’s sidelined—and bringing back catcher Ben Rortvedt for the fifth time this year, earning him the unofficial title “Benny Boomerang.”
