We have seen the trade market heat up this week, and there are several interesting starting pitchers seemingly available. For six of them, here are the pros and cons of making a deal.

One of the best all-around hitters in the Major Leagues is on the move, and the impact of the Kyle Tucker trade goes beyond Chicago and Houston.

Both New York and Milwaukee added needed pieces to their pitching staffs with the Yankees adding Devin Williams for Nestor Cortes, a prospect and cash.

The Yankees didn’t just acquire one of the most elite relievers in the game when they traded for All-Star closer Devin Williams. They acquired one of the truly elite pitches in his “Airbender.”

No one has worn No. 5 in New York since Wright played his last game in 2018, nor will anyone do so again. The club will retire the number in July and induct one of their greatest position players into the Mets Hall of Fame.
