The Philadelphia Phillies took a big swing early Monday, acquiring three-time batting champion Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants to create RBI opportunities for sluggers Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

Arraez is hitting an NL-best .324 in a resurgent season after signing a $12 million, one-year deal with San Francisco early in spring training. The 29-year-old has his highest batting average since 2023, and he’s played better defense at second base after questions about his glove hindered his market in free agency.<\/p>\n

Schwarber is second in the majors with 33 home runs entering Monday yet ranks 31st with 63 RBIs, while Harper has driven in 66. The team’s .304 on-base percentage is the second lowest in the majors.<\/p>\n

Philly also got reliever Caleb Kilian back from the Giants in the trade for two minor leaguers, and it swung a separate deal for left-handed reliever Brooks Raley with the New York Mets, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers woke up already looking like the deadline’s biggest winners after adding two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal<\/a> to a loaded roster Sunday. The Dodgers are chasing a third straight World Series title.<\/p>\n

Over in the American League, Tampa Bay beefed up its rotation<\/a> Sunday by adding right-hander Freddy Peralta while the New York Yankees acquired young slugger Luis Garc\u00eda Jr.<\/a> to give their Aaron Judge-less lineup a little more pop. Also on Sunday, the Chicago Cubs added Kevin Gausman to their rotation<\/a> in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

The trade deadline is Monday at 6 p.m. EDT. Some enticing options still remain<\/a>, including San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller and Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho.<\/p>\n

Other trades of note<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Blue Jays bolstered their rotation with an eye on 2027 by acquiring right-hander Jos\u00e9 Soriano from the Los Angeles Angels for three prospects. The 27-year-old is 9-6 with a 3.29 ERA and has a 3.72 ERA over four big league seasons. He’s under team control through 2028. Infielder Arjun Nimmala, a 2023 first-round pick, headlined the minor leaguers going to Los Angeles, along with outfielder Eddie Micheletti Jr. and right-hander Angel Rivero.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Chicago White Sox added righty reliever Huascar Brazob\u00e1n from the Mets for minor league right-handers Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin. The 36-year-old Brazob\u00e1n is 5-2 with a 2.56 ERA over 46 games this season.<\/p>\n
