Major League Baseball trade rumors: Yu Darvish-to-Indians buzz heats up

The Oakland Athletics have been shopping Sonny Gray, and he'll be traded if the team gets a suitable offer before 4 p.m. EDT.

The Dodgers certainly don't need to do anything at the deadline, but for many here in Tinseltown, 2017 feels like the year the Dodgers will finally snap that 29-year drought and reach the World Series.

The Marlins homered twice in the first inning and scored 10 runs on nine hits in 3 2-3 innings against Darvish. The sticking point, according to Jon Heyman of Fanragsports.com is the A's asking for either outfielder Clint Frazier or shortstop Gleyber Torres in return. The Yankees are willing to trade valuable minor leaguers, but the two sides have reportedly reached a stalemate with the deadline approaching.

Justin Verlander, Sonny Gray and Yu Darvish are some of the big-time starting pitchers who could be moved on Monday.

Pitching and defense win championships, and that is why the Dodgers are still looking to add another starter.

The Dodgers have been notoriously conservative with their prospects, and it's worked out well so far, as guys like Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger and Joc Pederson are contributing enough to help Los Angeles to the best record in Major League Baseball. "Quite frankly, I think he's going to be a Tiger on Tuesday". He had his red glove on his left hand and a baseball in the other, showing how he was moving the ball and making a slight pause with his hands before throwing a fastball.
