Desperation makes for great baseball drama. With Mondays trade deadline fast approaching, contenders are ready to mortgage their futures for a ring and a single blockbuster deal could shift the balance of power overnight. Julys trade deadline is baseballs ultimate high-stakes gamble. Over the years, some moves have delivered World Series MVPs, while others fell short and left teams with nothing to show for the blue-chip prospects they traded away. Here are the 10 most impactful MLB Trade Deadline deals since 2000: The Rangers swung for the fences at the 2010 deadline. They traded Justin Smoak, Blake Beavan, Josh Lueke, Matthew Lawson and $2.25 million in cash to the Seattle Mariners for Lee and Mark Lowe. Lee proved to be the ultimate missing piece for the Rangers, leading them to its first World Series appearance in franchise history. The Impact Lee was everything the Rangers traded for and more. He tore through the American League playoffs, posting three double-digit strikeout starts and putting on an absolute clinic with a 1.26 ERA and 3-0 record. The Rangers lost the World Series to the San Francisco Giants in five games, but Lees heroic postseason run wont ever be forgotten. The Houston Astros pulled off one of the unique trade deadline deals in recent memory through a three-team blockbuster. The Astros acquired Beltrn in the deal, while the Kansas City Royals landed a pair of prospects in John Buck, Mike Wood, and Mark Teahen. The Oakland Athletics rounded out the deal by acquiring Octavio Dotel. The Impact Beltrns impact was short-lived with the Astros. He played well during the playoffs, hitting eight home runs during their playoff run, but he ended up leaving just a few months later in free agency after signing a seven-year, $119 million deal with the New York Mets. Still, it wasnt the last time fans would see him in an Astros uniform. Beltrn returned to the Astros more than a decade later and helped them win their first-ever World Series in 2017 when they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sabathia is viewed as one of the more underrated starting arms acquired at the deadline in history. The Brewers traded Matt LaPorta, Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson, and Michael Brantley to the Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) for Sabathia. Even with Sabathia being a true rental, his impact goes well beyond the stat sheet. The Impact After the Brewers traded for Sabathia, he went on an absolute clinic on the mound, posting an 11-2 record and 1.64 ERA in 17 starts. He also pitched seven complete games and three shutouts, while throwing a complete game against the Chicago Cubs in game 162. With that win, the Brewers ended a 26-year postseason drought to secure a National League Wild Card spot. Most relievers have a limited impact on a postseason run, but trading for Aroldis Chapman was a game-changer for the Chicago Cubs. By sending Adam Warren, Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford to the New York Yankees. With the deadline deal, the Cubs got the elite closer they desperately needed to win their first World Series for the first time in 108 years. The Impact The Cubs already had the best record in baseball, but his playoff pedigree was unmatched with how well he was able to close games. He ended the playoff run with a 2-0 record and 3.45 ERA, but he also recorded four saves and threw 15.2 innings. Chapman pitched multiple innings during his appearances and fought through severe fatigue from manager Joe Maddon to help secure the World Series win. He will forever go down as one of the key reasons the Cubs slayed the Curse of the Billy Goat. Soto has been traded multiple times, but the return that the Washington Nationals received for him might never be seen again. The Padres were able to land Soto and Josh Bell, but gave up James Wood, CJ Abrams, Mackenzie Gore, Luke Voit and Robert Hassell III. Wood, Abrams and Gore have all been All-Star selections, while Soto only played two seasons with the Padres. This trade was the start of the Padres unloading their entire farm system as they pushed to remain competitive with both the Dodgers and Giants consistently in the NL West. The Impact The ultimate impact of this deal was how little the Padres got out of Soto before trading him to the Yankees two seasons later. Wood, Abrams and Gore became part of the National young nucleus, with Wood becoming one of the brightest young stars in the league. Losing Ronald Acua Jr. to a torn ACL in 2021 should have ended the Braves' season. Instead, aggressive mid-season trades for Joc Pederson, Adam Duvall, and Jorge Soler saved their outfield and in many ways sparked a World Series run. However, there might not have been a more impactful deal than acquiring Soler from the Kansas City Royals. For the type of impact that Soler made, the Braves only had to give up minor league prospect Kasey Kalich, who never made it to the major league level. The Impact Soler capped a dominant postseason by winning World Series MVP and leading Atlanta to its first title since 1995. With six hits, three home runs, and six RBIs in the Series, he proved just how much one hot bat can transform a championship run. The Dodgers are no secret to making deadline deals, especially when theyre making a World Series push. One of the biggest deals was when they acquired Scherzer and Turner from the Nationals for Keibert Ruiz, Josiah Gray, Gerardo Carrillo and Donovan Casey. By bringing in Scherzer and Turner as short-term options, the Dodgers pulled off one of the biggest 'all-in' moves in recent memory. The Impact Scherzer was a true rental, but Turner still had a year of team control, but the impact on both teams was evident. After giving up the amount of young talent that the Dodgers did, they didnt even make a World Series and lost to the Braves in the NLCS. The 2015 Mets were a red-hot Royals team away from a World Series title, and that iconic run was all about Yoenis Cspedes. Giving up just Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa to get him remains one of the best deadline steals in recent memory. The Impact Cspedes made his impact known for the Mets during the 2015 playoffs, finishing with 12 hits, two home runs, and eight RBIs. While his postseason performance fluctuated, he remained one of the league's most dynamic threats and entered October fresh off a Gold Glove-winning season. Lees impact has been so special that he made the list twice. This time was when he was traded to the Phillies at the 2009 deadline. The Phillies were able to acquire Lee andBen Franciscofrom the Guardians forCarlos Carrasco, Jason Knapp, Lou Marson, and Jason Donald. The Impact The Phillies' rotation became one of the most feared in the league during a dominant 2009 postseason run led by Lee, Cole Hamels, Pedro Martnez, and Joe Blanton. Lee went 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA to help them reach the World Series before they ultimately fell to the Yankees. Verlander being traded from the Detroit Tigers after 13 seasons to the Astros was one of the most impactful deadline deals in league history. Hes not just a Triple Crown winner and one of the most dominant arms the sport has seen, but he also helped the Astros win the World Series. The Astros traded away Daz Cameron, Jake Rogers, and Franklin Perez for Verlander and cash considerations. On top of spending five seasons with the team, Verlander won the 2019 AL Cy Young award and took home another World Series ring in 2022. The Impact During the Astros' 2017 postseason run, Verlander went 4-1 with a 2.21 ERA and a franchise-record 38 strikeouts in 36.2 innings pitched. Along with winning the World Series, Verlander added a major individual accolade to his resume with the ALCS MVP.

BEREA The second day of Browns training camp, full-squad edition, featured the arrival of one ultra-famous father of a player. It also included the next step in the continuing saga of that father's son battling a wounded veteran for the starting quarterback position.Before the Browns took the field for their second full-squad practice, coach Todd Monken spent 10 minutes talking to the media. That came after a lengthy visit with that famouse father, Pro Football Hall of Famer and University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.Monken spoke about his meeting with Sanders, the father of quarterback Shedeur Sanders. He also talked about the other quarterback in the mix, Deshaun Watson, and his Day 1 struggles.Subscribe to Browns Insider newsletterHere's some of the highlights from Monken's availability:Todd Monken on meeting with Deion Sanders"It was really cool. I mean, that was at Deion Sanders. Are you kidding me? Forget that it's Shadeur's dad. I mean, first of all, he did an unbelievable job with Shedor. Great kid and obviously an elite football player, hell baseball player. And then as a coach, I mean, wow. Everything that he's achieved, that was awesome. So yeah. Was there anything more? I interrupted you before you finish it. No, no. I just said it was awesome."Todd Monken on what was said in meeting with Deion Sanders"It was fine. I mean, we just started telling stories and then we really didn't get almost any football. We got into NIL and Jackson State and Colorado and we almost drafted him in Baltimore and that crazy scenario and what a great job Shadeur's done since I've been here in terms of his development. And so it was good. It was a part coach, part father, which is what it should be."Todd Monken on Deshaun Watson's back-to-back interceptions on Day 1"Though it sucked. That's no fun. I mean, for him or us, I mean on offense. First of all, the naked, that was a great play by Denzel Ward. I was standing right behind it. And I thought it was an elite throw. Deshaun moving to his left. He out-leveraged the backer to get it there. Now we drifted a little on the overroute, but Denzel with his speed. Who asked me about Denzel yesterday? Can't be late with throws because of his tracking speed. Now I was more down the field, but that showed up on that play. That was the first one. The second one, we ran a play action and really some leakage up front, which can happen without pads on. So Deshaun had to slide and we were just laid on the end cut in the overlap corner. So really neither one in my mind was really a bonehead decision."Buy Cleveland Browns ticketsChris Easterling can be reached at ceasterling@thebeaconjournal.com.

Kenneth Walker III question looms over Seattle Seahawks amid training camp originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Seattle Seahawks are coming back after a year that was truly historic, and they'd love to repeat the success they had during the 2025-26 season. Not many franchises get to say that they've won two Super Bowls in a row, but that's obviously the goal for head coach Mike Macdonald.The team's training camp officially started last weekend, so they've been in the thick of practice again. Rookies arrived a little earlier, and veterans reported later, but the camp runs through Aug. 13, 2026, at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, Washington.So, what are the chances of this franchise going all the way again? It's not going to be easy, especially after losing Kenneth Walker III, but it could happen.Seattle SeahawksNo. 4 in new power ranking, partly due to Kenneth Walker IIIRalph Vacchiano of Fox Sports discusses the Seahawks and their current state in a new commentary out on Tuesday. In it, he ranks every NFL team as training camp starts, and he puts them at No. 4 on the tally.No. 4 is solid, but for a team that just won a Super Bowl, it seems a bit low. That's not lost on Vacchiano."I know, I know: The defending champs deserve more respect," he states in the piece. "But with Kenneth Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet recovering from a torn ACL, the Seahawks may be asking too much of rookie Jadarian Price, who was Notre Dames No. 2 RB last year."It's certainly the case that Price has a lot on his shoulders for a previous No. 2 running back. But, this team shaped Walker from his rookie days, and they could do the same with Price. He's really not just any No. 2 running back. He clocked 113 carries for 674 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns during his 2025 season with Notre Dame, and he was only No. 2 because the franchise had superstar running back Jeremiyah Love.More NFL news:Ben Johnson, Bears get 'dangerous' projection for 2026 season49ers get wishy-washy projection as training camp heats upNFL analyst points out hilarious reality of Browns' Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson battle

The Seattle Seahawks are getting one of their 2026 NFL draft picks back on the field for practice. On Thursday morning, the Seahawks announced that seventh round rookie defensive tackle Deven Eastern had officially passed his physical and will begin practicing immediately. Eastern had begun training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list while he was dealing with an unspecified injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald did not give any details on what Eastern's injury was. Now Eastern begins the challenge of making it on the Seahawks' final roster. He is in a crowded defensive tackle room, and being one of the final 53 men when the regular season rolls around will not be an easy task. However, the four year Minnesota man seems up to the task. In his four seasons with the Golden Gophers, Eastern recorded 97 total tackles, 12 of which were for a loss, and logged 4.5 sacks. He was even credited with five defended passes.

Texans General Manager Nick Caserio told reporters on Wednesday that the team and quarterback C.J. Stroud have had productive conversations on a second contract for the young quarterback.For his part, Stroud said hes focused on what he can do on the field while his representation handles the negotiation.I think everything has been great, Stroud said in his Wednesday press conference, via transcript from the team. I'm focused on ball. Im trying to hold my end of the bargain down on just the football side and do what I can and what I should be doing as the quarterback of this team. I'm letting them handle it, and seems like everything is going great.Stroud said hes not imposing a deadline on when negotiations must end, noting hes leaving that to his agent.While there could be some unwanted pressure on a player seeking a new deal, thats not how Stroud sees it.I think pressure is part of my job, Stroud said. That's just something I think is part of the gig and something that I'm not naive to, but I've learned you have to keep the main thing the main thing. You have to just focus on one day at a time, one play and the football is what's gotten me to even have the conversation, to be able to get a second contract. I have to focus on football.Stroud feels like if he does that, the contract will take care of itself.What I've done is what I've done on the field and what I will do, we'll see, Stroud said. I think I've had some success and I think I'll continue to have success as a quarterback in this league.I'm excited for the future and to pass all the contracts stuff, I love playing football.Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 draft, is under contract through 2027 after the Texans exercised his fifth-year option in the spring.In his 46 career games, Stroud has completed 63.8 percent of his passes for 10,876 yards with 62 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. Last season, Stroud completed 64.5 percent of his throws for 3,041 yards with 19 touchdowns and eight picks in 14 games.

In 2025, the Panthers won the NFC South with an 8-9 record. It marked Carolina's first division title and playoff appearance since 2017, as well as the franchise's first season with more than seven wins over that span. The turnaround was especially impressive considering the Panthers won just two games only two years ago. Now, the question is whether Carolina can build on last season's breakthrough and take another step forward in 2026. Let's check out their Over/Under win total odds for the 2026 season. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. Carolina Panthers Over 7.5: +115 (bet $10 to win $21.50 total)Under 7.5: -136 (bet $10 to win $17.35 total) What to know: Despite finishing with a losing record, the Panthers nearly pulled off one of the biggest playoff upsets in recent memory, pushing the 12-5 Rams to the brink before falling 34-31 in the Wild Card Round. The biggest reason for Carolina's turnaround was the emergence of quarterback Bryce Young. Just a year earlier, Young had been benched and his long-term future with the franchise was in question. In 2025, however, he took a major step forward, throwing for a career-high 3,011 yards and 23 touchdowns while completing 63.6% of his passes. More importantly, he consistently delivered in the biggest moments, giving the Panthers confidence that he can be their franchise quarterback moving forward. Carolina made defense its top priority this offseason, landing two marquee additions in free agency in Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd. The Panthers also invested in protecting Bryce Young by selecting offensive tackle Monroe Freeling in the first round of the NFL Draft. Odds: This upcoming season, Carolina is the +310 third choice to win the NFC South, the +3800 14th choice to win the NFC and the +9000 25th choice to win the Super Bowl.
