Thorough Homework: 8/3/25- MLB Trade Rumors

This is the latest of several players who have recently designated assignments and has now been removed from the club’s 40-man roster.
- this Yankees Announce that outfielder Bryan de la Cruz The exemption has been cleared and triple A has been completely removed. Since De La Cruz has more than three years of Major League Baseball service, he has the right to elect free agents instead of taking direct tasks, it remains to be seen whether he will stay in the organization. De La Cruz is a regular on the Marlins for 2022-24 since last year’s deadline deal with the Pirates, struggling with 16 games at the 2025 MLB job. New York claims De la Cruz from Atlanta in May, with the outfielder hitting .251/.323/.438 in 229 sets and Scranton-Wilkes-Barre made 229 sets.
- this sailor thorough Collin Snider After clearing the save with your right hand, you must perform triple A. This is the first time Snider has been replaced, and since he doesn’t have MLB’s service time, he will have to report to Triple-A instead of considering elected free agents. Snider’s underrated bullpen arm in 2024 struggled with 5.47 ERA in 26 1/3 of this year in 2024, and has not pitched since the right forearm flexor strain sent him on the injury list two months ago. Snider has already begun a minor league rehabilitation mission, but he has no minor league choice, so the Mariners have to pursue a DFA/complete route instead of directly activating Snider back to the 26ers lineup.
- this Philadelphia Right-handed announced Brett de Geus and German sweet Both cleared the immunity and had completely defeated Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Two pitchers are designated on the deadline to create roster space for new acquisitions Harrison Bud and Matt Manning. De Geus, who has made a solo appearance with Philadelphia this season, has now lost 63 innings in 61 major league-level professional games, throwing 7.39 ERAs in his three seasons. In the 2023 season, Sweet had 10.38 ERA in 8 2/3 of the professional innings. Both pitchers are done thoroughly on the resume, so each of them can elect free agents instead of taking on Triple-A’s mission.
