One source describes #Astros’ pursuit of Britton as “serious.” Executive with one of clubs involved believes deal with HOU is close.

Yankees shouldn't even think about trading Torres.

Its just the nature of the trade deadline. You have to pay the price for the pieces that could win you a WS. Last year, CLE paid NYY a huge price for Andre Miller and CHC dealt Torres to NYY for a 3 month rental of Chapman who ended up back in NYY, so I don't feel bad for NYY at all. I hope they get worked by Beane or end up dealing Gray to MIL.

Torres was the 27th ranked prospect at this time last year. Now he's the 3rd ranked prospect by B.A.

Cashman isn't touching him.

With 90 minutes to go, latest update is Nats talking Twins on Kintzler but also "to lots of others." So Kintzler not sole focus.

Important dynamic in Britton negotiations: Needs to be big haul for #Orioles, or owner Angelos will not approve.

No indication that #Tigers are engaged in serious trade talks involving Justin Verlander. Less than 90 minutes before #TradeDeadline. @MLB

#Twins are in the "red zone" on a Brandon Kintzler trade. #Nationals are the most speculated-upon team, but not sure if it's them.

nats send tyler watson to twins for kintzler

ARZ improved today but barring injuries they are not catching LA with the moves they made today acquiring Darvish and a couple of LH RP's which has been ARZ's kryptonite this year.

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan

Rangers' return for Darvish is Willie Calhoun, A.J. Alexy and Brendon Davis.

That thud you heard at 4:01 p.m. Monday was the sound of the trade value of Manny Machado, Zach Britton and other O's vets falling by 25-30%

BAL was asking for way too much and one thing I noticed is that teams really didn't give up much prospect wise. HOU is catching hell for not willing dip into their farm to land a SP.
