SAGNOF Bullpen Report Week 17: Trade Deadline Songs

Athletics
They should be salespeople. Anyone looking for any of these bullpen arms? Don’t think it will shake things up from a fantasy perspective, because no one has been in the spotlight for very long. If they’re going to buy anyone, it’s probably going to be a deep piece with little value outside of AL-only.
Baltimore Orioles
Playoff hopes at least still have a pulse in Baltimore. The bullpen has been very effective, but willy illy in terms of moving roles. Don’t trust too much Ryan Helsley maintaining his health and/or integrity throughout. Are they confident in their arms or are they chasing someone in the market? If you own a Helsley, prepare your heart and soul to find another place. Even if others get savings, I like it Tyler WellsExcellent opportunity for fantasy value. Don’t trust Andrew Kittredgehealth or.
The Boston Red Sox
Boston lost exactly one game in the month of July, and that came back on the 1st. What had been a water-tight season turned into a real playoff situation. Maybe I would consider adding some depth to this pen given the recent injury history of Justin Slate. If not, why move it? I would be surprised if they decide to move one of the better closers in the game right now.
Chicago White Sox
These guys should really consider buying bullpen arms. High energy, at that. I think they will try. It’s an amazing time, the hype is full tilt, and they will rely on the arms they have back there? I don’t see it. Grant Taylor you have the chops to be elite, but you wish you werehy. Seranthony Dominguez more could have been done from a fantasy perspective without the White Sox losing to top quality arms. It is reported that the White Sox will be aggressive towards the players under the team.
Cleveland Rangers
Don’t think anything has changed in this pen.
The Detroit Tigers
Kenley Jansen may be sold. When he opens the door Kyle Finnegan to be a source of savings (again) in the second half. I…I don’t care about anyone else here.
The Houston Astros
Bryan Abreu was bad and will be a free agent at the end of the season. Do they see what they can get with a high quality arm? Bryan King the lights just went out. Sent down to Triple-A one day. He thinks he’s back early, but for now I think he is Steven Okert‘s time in the sun. What a year he’s had, but you have to keep in mind that it hasn’t been super powerful. The Astros seem out of contention for the playoffs, so I don’t see them buying anyone of note.
Kansas City Royals
The only arm anyone would want Daniel Lynch IV. He’s the only one with an important dream right now, of course. If he moves, who cares who moves up? I don’t want to.
Los Angeles Angels
Look Ben Joyce during this renewal period. So far, the numbers aren’t that great (16.9 H/9, 10.1 BB/9 in 2.2 IP). What really matters is if he succeeds without interruption. I’ve been saying I don’t like this guy for years, and at this point in his career I don’t think he’ll reach much in the majors. But I also said that opportunity is more than half the battle, and if he gets back on the mound in a Los Angeles Angels uniform, he’s probably got a shot. It certainly doesn’t have much in the way of competition.
Minnesota Twins
They got their one-two punch Yoendrys Gomez again Andrew Morris. They may buy some depth beyond that. It is possible that only a person can make small waves in a deep format.
New York Yankees
Seeing the Bronx as a potential destination Mason Miller if the Padres decide to trade him. Maybe it’s smoke and mirrors. Who knows. I know the Yankees could use a deeper bullpen.
Seattle Mariners
I don’t change much here. A bit of an injury bug Matt Brash and, so goes some of the depth that they hoped they had when they went out and got it Jose Ferrer. However, Eduard Bazardo again Gabe Speier it was good. If they add anyone, it’s likely to be an easy piece.
Tampa Bay Rays
Almost nothing of note is happening in the Tampa barn. Probably a low-level add-on.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers held on to that AL West lead with one cleat stud. Jacob Latz It has been a close shutdown so far as well Jacob Junis it has been the most reliable setup option for anyone new to IL. After that, they need some stability. Think they’ll look to add a top arm or two, and that could jeopardize Junis’ ROS value.
Toronto Blue Jays
It is impossible to imagine Jeff Hoffman being shaken up and the playoffs possibly off the table. He still looks good from a metrics perspective, so someone will be interested in that. Whatever happens, it will still be the same Louis Varland again Tyler Rogers show back there.
The Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona is fighting for a playoff spot and has a bullpen full of upcoming free agents. Like all buckaroos. So, how the team does in the next two weeks will determine the plan of action, I see. Paul Sewald obviously the most exciting name as a veteran with a lot of closing experience and a very good season.
The Atlanta Braves
Robert Suarez will be back soon, so the Braves aren’t making a big deal out of it.
Chicago Cubs
Ahhh if only Daniel Palencia were healthy, then this would be a simple blur. As it is, make the cubs get a close moment Jacob Webb? He hasn’t been allowed to run in a long time, and he has turned in 5 saves so far. Wager will still want to add some help. He might be the guy who beats everyone on the depth chart in one fell swoop. No one else can stay healthy long enough.
The Cincinnati Reds
I don’t see Cincy buying a respectable person at all. Maybe there is a market Emilio Pagan if anyone believes they can stay on the field and get close to last year’s form, though i get the vibe they’ll just hold their own and try to do better in 2027.
The Colorado Rockies
Mehhhh. Don’t care.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Edwin Diaz hope you come back soon. No real bullpen needs here unless he takes the worst chance.
Miami Marlins
Illustration Pete Fairbanks done for. One of two things will happen, in my mind. You will lose your job because you are bad now, or you will be sold. If you have him, I think a direct descent is safe at this point. If someone has something on the phone, remember. Be smart about it. If I had to choose a successor I would want him in a dream, of course Michael Petersen. They certainly wouldn’t go back to Faucher…
The Milwaukee Brewers
It makes sense to me that the Brewers should try to deepen the pen. Trevor McGill he’s good, but as noted on the interwebs, he doesn’t tend to throw a ton (47 IP last year was a career high). In the meantime, he could get safe treatment. It is possible. Not guaranteed. Maybe this is a “best of his life” moment or something.
The New York Mets
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a firesale similar to what the Minnesota Twins did. Everyone in the pen is available in my book. I’m waiting Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, again AJ Minter everything is managed at least. Weaver’s fantasy stock should always be exactly the same in SVHD formats. It could even be somewhere nearby. Devin Williams it might attract someone, too, especially if they are willing to keep a certain salary. It’s hard to say what the Mets’ pen might look like until the dust settles, but if any of these four stay then they’re still solid SVHD chaps in the second half. If all or most of them go, maybe so Huascar Brazoban who ends up being the most important Mets RP legend.
Philadelphia Phillies
Brad Keller is back in IL. This is UCL’s site. Roh roh. That’s a football game. So yes, the Phillies will absolutely want to consider a big name for free. Orion Kerkering it thrives again, but it has passed that point and is moving.
The Pittsburgh Pirates
Pittsburgh is in a similar situation to Arizona. Fighting for a place, so the next two weeks will determine their path to the final. They could add a big name, they could hold back and hope for the best since it was working well enough, or they could end up selling. Sorry, that’s the best I can get right now, sorry.
San Diego Padres
I believe it makes sense to trade Mason Miller. The number of closers has never been this high in sports history, and the San Diego farm could use more livestock. As amazing as Miller is, relief materials are very versatile these days. One pitch, one elbow, and that’s all he wrote. On the other hand, San Diego still has a shot at October. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. If he moves, he is healthy Jeremiah Estrada it makes a lot of sense to close. If he doesn’t move, Adrian Morejon you still know very well. He will be a free agent this offseason, and a stud Jason Adaminjured and not expected back until August. Bradley Rodriguez may have room to step into a larger role depending on what is being played.
The San Francisco Giants
Of course they will sell what they know. I don’t know that I care too much about how it all goes. No one has been able to have a stable presence back there. Erik Miller there is still a lot of good in my book.
Louis Cardinals
It is difficult to say that St. What will Louis do? In the past, with Mo at the helm, I would have expected more from nothin. But now with this Chaim Bloom boy? I don’t know. In my humble opinion, they need to deepen the pen in a deeper way. Riley O’Brien it was not the strongest rock of late, JoJo Romero he is in IL for appendicitis, and everyone is straight dog water. I hope Bloom does some crazy work and finds Mason Miller or something.
Washington Nationals
The Nationals are a .500 team average at 50-50 at the time of writing. The bullpen is an obvious weakness. It’s clear they’ll want to finish it off if they want to make any serious attempt at postseason football. They probably also don’t want to shake up the youth movement too much, so maybe they don’t bring anyone too interesting.
