The Baseball Insiders

Join Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray as they dig into the biggest trade rumors swirling across the league. Could the Pirates and Cubs be deep into a deal for Mitch Keller? Bob Nightengale says they’ve been “engaged in serious talks” for more than a week. Are the Pirates prioritizing a full salary dump, or will they hold out for a stronger return?

Also on the move? Ke’Bryan Hayes is reportedly on the radar of the Yankees, Tigers, and Cubs — but does Pittsburgh really pull the trigger on a franchise cornerstone?

The Mets, meanwhile, are spiraling. After a freak injury to Griffin Canning and a minor-league ballpark rant by Luis Severino, is a reunion with the fiery right-hander actually possible? Or is New York’s desperation going to drive them toward a safer, more veteran starter?

And don’t sleep on the Astros — the hottest team in the AL may be buyers again, reportedly targeting Cedric Mullins. Is Baltimore inching closer to selling?

From early deadline sparks to roster meltdowns, this week’s episode is packed with insider info, sharp analysis, and unfiltered takes.
