Overview
- Teams made major roster moves at the non‑waiver trade deadline on Monday that saw sellers clear veterans and buyers add controllable starters and high‑usage relievers.
- The New York Mets, after trading several established relievers at the deadline, have responded with a three‑game sweep of Cleveland capped by a 13‑6 win that featured an 18‑hit attack.
- The Cleveland Guardians promoted top prospect Angel Genao, who debuted Aug. 5, and handed All‑Star signing Foster Griffin his Cleveland debut on Aug. 6 as they try to integrate deadline additions.
- San Francisco’s six‑player sell‑off opened big‑league openings for youngsters such as Bryce Eldridge, while the Giants plan to use the rest of the season to evaluate internal starters and bullpen options.
- Pittsburgh added late‑inning arms including Luke Weaver to shore up short relief, but early post‑deadline play exposed rotation concerns, notably uneven outings from Paul Skenes that leave the pitching staff a question mark.
