The Red Sox are streaking, the Marlins are fading, and for the plethora of teams on the bubble, were finally nearing decision time. Every win or loss coming out of the All-Star break provides a bit more clarity as teams decide whether theyre buyers, sellers or somewhere in between. With one week to go before the Aug. 3 trade deadline, this week's Power Rankings features one second-half question for every team. The Rockies starters have an ERA over 6.00. They need more pitching in the system, and they have a couple outfield trade chips in Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak who could help them get that done. Will they also consider trading Hunter Goodman, who leads all catchers with 31 home runs and is under team control through 2029? Under interim general manager John Mozeliak, the Angelssound more open-mindedto making the kinds of changes that will be required to return the team to relevance. Will there finally be a fire-sale in Anaheim? Just a few weeks ago, the A's looked like buyers. Then they lost 23 of 29 games and now seem to be obvious sellers. But with many of their top young talents signed long-term, what are they willing to sell in order to add more pitching to the system? Among the top 20 or so potential MLB trade deadline candidates, Luis Arraez has to be the likeliest to go. Rental Robbie Ray is likely gone, too, but can the Giants use this lost season to also move one of their big contracts? It will be interesting to see if Jung Hoo Lee, Matt Chapman, Willy Adames and Rafael Devers are all still Giants after the deadline. With the size of their payroll, the Mets have to try to contend again next season. So, beyond their rentals such as starter Freddy Peralta, relievers Brooks Raley and A.J. Minter and outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (who has a team option next season), which of their controllable players will they feel comfortable trading? Same question as directly above. The Royals are similar to the Mets in that a season with playoff aspirations quickly spiraled, yet they can't be thinking about a long-term rebuild. So, without many valuable rental arms on the roster, how many controllable pitchers will they be willing to deal? Michael Wacha will command the most attention. The reigning American League champs as sellers? That seems to be the likeliest course of action after the offenses disappearing act and the struggles in the rotation behind Cy Young contender Dylan Cease. The biggest question: Where is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s power? And can he find it in time to give Toronto some late-season hope? When healthy, the Reds can envision a rotation featuring Chase Burns, Hunter Greene and Andrew Abbott giving them a better chance in 2027. But that wont matter much if they still have one of the least productive offenses in MLB. Can someone other than Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart establish himself as a reliable long-term mainstay in the lineup? Will Trevor Rogers, Taylor Ward and Andrew Kittredge help the Orioles return to the playoffs after last years disappointing fifth-place finish, or will they be wearing different uniforms after the deadline? How Baltimore decides to handle its impending free agents could determine its second-half fate. Its the question of the deadline: What does Detroit do with Tarik Skubal? The Tigers are trending in the right direction, but when youre trying to convince your front office to keep one of the games most talented pitchers, you cant afford to split a late July four-game series at home against the Royals. It seems like every year were asking if Sandy Alcantara will remain a Marlin. Suddenly, here we are again. Will the Marlins try to catch fire again with the current group they have, or will a franchise-record 12-game losing streak cause them to sell some pieces? Had the Twins not sold off all of their top relief arms last deadline, they might be in first place right now. Instead, theyre one of the many teams on the bubble. Will the Twins use this deadline to fix the bullpen it just dismantled? Or will they look to the future and sell rental catcher Ryan Jeffers and listen to offers for All-Star right-hander Joe Ryan? As constructed, its hard to imagine theres enough pitching here to seriously contend. As long as the Astros are still in the mix, Id expect them to keep pushing in to build around MVP favorite Yordan Alvarez. They could use more outfield help, but the bigger question: Do they have enough pitching to get back to the playoffs and make some noise in the weak AL? Will the offense get right? I mean that in every possible sense. The Mariners need their best players to play better, and they also might need a right-handed hitter at the deadline to help an offense that currently has the lowest OPS against left-handed pitching in the sport. Another high-leverage reliever wouldnt hurt, either. Can this rotation continue to hold up? The Cardinals are trending in the wrong direction, but Jordan Walker, JJ Wetherholt, Alec Burleson and Ivan Herrera should give them enough firepower to at least stay competitive. Will the rotation, which currently ranks 10th in MLB in ERA despite missing very few bats, do the same? What does AJ Preller have up his sleeve? The Padres president of baseball operations rarely sits still at the deadline, but this team has more flaws than in years past (particularly in the rotation) and now has less of a farm system to address the deficiencies at the deadline. Could he trade All-Star closer Mason Miller to address the teams other weaknesses? It might take some creativity to make this group a contender. Stop me if youve heard this before, but the Guardians offense could use more thump. Will they add an impact bat to fix an offense with the lowest OPS in MLB? Or will having star third baseman Jos Ramrez back from a broken hand be enough for Cleveland to win its third straight division title? Will Paul Skenes look like a Cy Young contender again down the stretch? Skenes is still racking up strikeouts with strong underlying numbers, but he currently ranks 32nd among qualified MLB starters in ERA. If he pitches like one of the best pitchers on the planet in the second half and the bullpen adds some pieces at the deadline, you can envision this Pirates team and its vastly improved offense ending Pittsburghs 10-year playoff drought. Can they keep their top offensive players on the field? Star shortstop Corey Seager hasnt played all month due to a back injury. Wyatt Langford has mashed when available. He has played in only 53 games this year due to forearm, hamstring and ankle injuries. Josh Jung, the teams hit leader, is currently sidelined with a calf issue. The Rangers need those guys on the field if they want to hold off the Mariners and Astros. Will this offense play to its potential? The D-backs are currently in wild-card position despite a depleted pitching staff and an offense that ranks 20th in MLB in OPS. They could use a first-base upgrade at the deadline (as well as pitching reinforcements), but they also need more of their top offensive players to perform. What lane do the Nationals pick at the deadline? Theyre ahead of schedule in the rebuild under new leadership, now only one game out of a wild-card spot with the best offense in MLB. Its one thing to trade slugging utility man Curtis Mead, but would they really trade All-Star Foster Griffin as well, given the way they're playing? Or entertain offers for superstar CJ Abrams? Or will they run this surprise season out and see where it goes? Do the White Sox have (or will they acquire) the pitching required to finish off this magical run? The young offense has slugged its way to the sixth-most home runs in MLB, but the South Siders might need to add more depth both in the rotation and the bullpen to complete the extraordinary turnaround and end the four-year playoff drought. Speaking of turnarounds a lot can change in a matter of weeks. The Red Sox looked cooked, and now theyve won 22 of 26 games and are already starting the process of adding offense at the deadline. The biggest question, though, is how quickly Roman Anthony (torn finger ligament) and Garrett Crochet (shoulder, lat) return to action. Having Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Zack Wheeler, Cristopher Snchez, Jess Luzardo and Jhoan Duran is a heckuva starting point, but you can bank on the Phillies adding depth at the deadline for their second-half push. The question: Does it come in the outfield, at the back end of the rotation, in high-leverage relief or maybe all three? How quickly will Aaron Judge return? We can debate whether their bigger need is behind the plate or in relief at the deadline, but regardless of what they do a week from now, they need their captain back and looking like himself if they want to get back to the World Series. Here is a list of injured Cubs pitchers: Justin Steele, Edward Cabrera, Ben Brown, Cade Horton, Daniel Palencia, Hunter Harvey, Shelby Miller, Phil Maton, Hoby Milner, Porter Hodge, Riley Martin, Ethan Roberts. With several of them expected back at some point in the second half, how will the Cubs choose to patch up their beleaguered pitching staff at the deadline? Do they make a big splash at the deadline? They have the best record in a weak American League, they have needs up the middle offensively, and they could use a boost both in the rotation and the bullpen. President of baseball operations Erik Neander might see an opportunity ahead to push in. The Braves have gotten their NL East lead back to a more comfortable distance and look destined to prove that last year was a blip. Still, they cant feel too comfortable about their starting options beyond Chris Sale once they get to October. Can they land a co-ace at the deadline? How much will last years sweep in the NLCS motivate them at the deadline? The Brewers have proven their might as regular-season juggernauts, but the disparity in star talent was evident when they went to Los Angeles last October. They have the talent on the farm to take a big swing. Will they finally do it? How much will Shohei Ohtanis balky left knee hold him back the rest of the way, and how will that issue impact the Dodgers deadline decision-making? Blake Snell is closing in on a return, but neither he nor Tyler Glasnow have pitched in nearly two months. If the Dodgers have any reservations at all about their pitching staff, they have the resources to make significant midseason moves even if theyd prefer not to in their quest to three-peat.

There are several reasons why the Los Angeles Rams could be called a "Super Team" ahead of the 2026 NFL season. One way to prove that is by looking at the player ratings for "Madden NFL 27." The Rams had two players named to the 99 Club for "Madden NFL 27" on Monday. Quarterback Matthew Stafford and edge rusher Myles Garrett are two of the six members in the 99 Club in "Madden NFL 27" by EA Sports. Who else is joining Stafford and Garrett in the vaunted 99 Club? Here's a full breakdown of the six players named to the 99 Club for "Madden NFL 27." For the second straight season, Josh Allen has been named a member of the 99 Club. Allen, who turned 30 in June, led the Buffalo Bills to another playoff appearance in 2025, as his 39 total touchdowns were tied for the second-most among quarterbacks. On top of that, Allen threw for 3,668 yards and rushed for 579 yards. Those stats helped Allen finish third in the MVP vote. As Allen has been named to the 99 Club in each of the last two years, he was also on the cover of "Madden NFL 24" in 2023. Just like Allen, Ja'Marr Chase is also a member of the 99 Club for a second straight season. The Cincinnati Bengals' star wide receiver had another stellar season in 2025, finishing third in receptions (125) and fourth in receiving yards (1,412) despite Joe Burrow missing a significant portion of the year. Chase also had eight receiving touchdowns. Chase earned 99 Club honors for "Madden NFL 26" after winning the receiving Triple Crown in 2024, leading the league in receptions (127), receiving yards (1,708) and receiving touchdowns (17) that year. Myles Garrett is also among the star players who are a part of the 99 Club for a second-straight year. But unlike Allen and Chase, this is Garrett's third appearance in the 99 Club, which is the most among the six players in this year's 99 Club. Garrett had a season for the ages in 2025. He set the single-season sack record with 23. He also led the league in tackles for loss for a second straight season (33) and had 84 pressures (per Pro Football Focus), helping him win Defensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career. Garrett was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Rams in June for young edge rusher Jared Verse and three draft picks. Trey McBride is one of three players making their 99 Club debut in "Madden NFL 27." The Arizona Cardinals' star has arguably emerged as the best tight end in the NFL through his first four seasons in the league. He led all tight ends in receptions (126) and receiving yards (1,239) in 2025. McBride's 11 receiving touchdowns were also tied for the most among tight ends. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year is also on the 99 Club for "Madden NFL 27." Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a dominant third season as a pro, leading the league in receiving yards (1,793) in 2025. He was also fourth in the league in receptions (119) and was tied for sixth in receiving touchdowns (10). Smith-Njigba dominated the NFC Championship Game, logging 153 receiving yards to help the Seahawks beat the Rams en route to their Super Bowl title. Earlier this offseason, Smith-Njigba received a four-year, $168.6 million deal that made him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history as he's in the 99 Club for the first time in his career. Finally, Stafford is in the 99 Club for the first time in his career after winning his first MVP in 2025. Stafford led the league in passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46), carving up opposing defenses throughout the year. Even in the Rams' NFC title loss to the Seahawks, Stafford threw for 374 yards and three touchdowns. Now, Stafford is being tasked to lead a Rams "Super Team" that features Garrett, wide receiver Puka Nacua, cornerback Trent McDuffie and potentially defensive tackle Aaron Donald to a Super Bowl in 2026.

Here's how it played out picking from the fifth slot

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki SasakiThe Los Angeles Dodgers won the sweepstakes for Roki Sasaki before last season, but the results were not great.The phenom was free to sign with any team after posting early from Japan. He chose the Dodgers and showed flashes of brilliance, but overall, he did not live up to expectations. This year was looking like more of the same until July 8.In his last three starts, Sasaki has a 1.93 ERA and 19 strikeouts. He has walked just four batters over that span. In his first start out of the All-Star Break, he touched triple digits 21 times, which was more than all of his other starts combined. The velocity came back down to earth on Friday's start against the New York Mets, but he was still dominant. He went seven innings, allowing just one earned run.The stretch of elite pitching has coincided with a glove change for Sasaki. After allowing six earned runs in three innings against the San Diego Padres, Dave Roberts said the Dodgers were going to do a dive on Sasaki. He felt like the Padres were on everything, and the Dodgers feared he was tipping pitches.Shop Our Best Offer!Looking for the perfect gift for a baseball player in your life?

Whether that's the sole reason for the better results is unclear, but something is clearly working. Sasaki downplayed the impact of the glove after his last start.Probably my face got smaller," Sasaki said when asked why the glove looks so much larger than the previous one, per The Athletic's Katie Woo."Thats why the glove looks bigger.More MLB:Trade Rumor Links Red Sox To High-Leverage Reliever As Deadline Approaches
