What we’re hearing with just hours to go until the MLB trade deadline

Key Points:

• The Seattle Mariners are actively listening to trade offers for controllable starters George Kirby and Emerson Hancock, with Hancock seen as more likely to be traded due to Kirby's high asking price, and at least one of them is expected to be moved before the deadline.
• The Colorado Rockies are preparing to make multiple trades, having already sent Brenton Doyle to the White Sox, and right-handed reliever Antonio Senzatela is expected to be traded soon, given his strong performance and demand.
• The Texas Rangers are open to trading most players, including left-hander MacKenzie Gore, potentially to acquire a controllable starting pitcher, reflecting their ongoing focus on pitching under president Chris Young.
• The New York Mets continue to have several players available for trade, including outfielders Luis Robert Jr. and Tyrone Taylor, and relievers Clay Holmes, while some pitchers like Freddy Peralta and others have already been moved.
• The Boston Red Sox are prioritizing adding a shortstop before the deadline, with potential targets including Nationals' CJ Abrams and Angels' Zach Neto, while the Nationals are signaling that Abrams is unlikely to be traded despite some market interest.
