There is some buzz about potential multi-team deals that one exec said would be "pretty chaotic" if they came to fruition. Thinking teams with multiple players to deal (such as the Cubs with Bryant/Baez/Kimbrel/Davies) could try to orchestrate a multi-team trade to fill needs.

The Milwaukee Brewers are finalizing a deal to acquire left-hander Daniel Norris from the Detroit Tigers, sources tell @kileymcd and me.
Interesting to look at past prospects

At Raps game but quick thought for Jays fans. Judging by reported deal for Greinke, would have cost Jays Drabek, Snider, Hech, plus. Pricey

The Brewers and Giants are still looking to add an impact bat, per source. The Blue Jays are also seeking a bat, even after dealing two top prospects for Jose Berríos.

This Blue Jays-Twins trade is an example of why I talk about not citing preseason rankings.
Austin Martin had 0 games of MiLB experience coming into 2021. What we know now: Can hit, power a bigger question than expected. Still a very good prospect, but legit questions.

Simeon Woods-Richardson. Performance this year has been better than his Double-A ERA (5.76) indicates. But has struggled this year and stuff hasn't always been as firm. Control has been an issue (5.1 BB/9) something that has long been an asset.

Twins may be doing a great job of getting two guys who may not have been available last offseason. But both of these Blue Jays prospects have more concerns now than they did coming into the season.

If Trevor Story moves — and it is an “if" with 4 hours until deadline — rivals think the #Bluejays and #Rays are the main contenders. #Mets have been tied to Story, but haven’t sensed that it is priority. @Feinsand mentioned the #SFGiants too.

@Feinsand
The Mets, Blue Jays and Giants are among the teams with continued interest in Trevor Story, per sources. The Rockies must decide whether the offers coming in are better than the compensatory draft picks they would receive if he leaves as a free agent.

Well @jaysonst just reported on @MLBNetwork that the Jays are willing to discuss Nate Pearson in a potential Jose Berrios deal

The Toronto #BlueJays and the Oakland #Athletcs are each pursuing Washington #Nationals catcher Yan Gomes, which is expected to be the next veteran to depart.

As Jon said previously, hearing Blue Jays continue “trying hard” to get Berríos.
Jon Heyman
@JonHeyman
The Jays are continuing to show big interest in Twins ace Josè Berríos. Many others in, including 2 division rivals (Rays and Red Sox). But they are a big player here.

The San Diego Padres are in serious talks on a deal to acquire Daniel Hudson from the Washington Nationals, according to sources familiar with situation.
Ken Rosenthal
@Ken_Rosenthal
Sources say other teams are still trying to top Padres for Scherzer. Nationals and Padres essentially have agreed on players in trade. Situation may be complicated by Scherzer’s ability to veto any trade and effectively choose next club.
Jon Heyman
@JonHeyman
Padres are surely very interested and aggressive in their pursuit of top trade target Max Scherzer, but source insists there are “multiple teams” still with a chance. Those teams are believed to include the Dodgers, and perhaps the Giants, Red Sox and another team.

The #BlueJays and #Twins are potential trade partners this week. Minnesota has @MLB pitching and needs up-the-middle position players. The Toronto system has them: Martin, Groshans, O. Martínez, O. López. Also, Derek Falvey worked with Shapiro and Atkins in CLE. @MLBNetwork

The Dodgers acquired OF Billy McKinney from the Mets in exchange for minor league OF Carlos Rincon. The Dodgers designated RHP Jake Reed for assignment to make room for McKinney on the 40-man roster.

not only does Vlad Guerrero Jr. have 30 homers with a .335/.434/.677 slash line, he's younger than four players the Blue Jays drafted last week
MLB Stats
@MLBStats
Vlad Guerrero Jr. (22y, 119d) is the 2nd-youngest player to homer in an @AllStarGame.
The only player younger was Johnny Bench (21y, 228d) in 1969.
