Multiple sources tell me #Nationals OF Bryce Harper will be available in trade discussions with another loss to the Marlins today. Rizzo and Co. have already reached out to #Dodgers, #Yankees , and #Cubs, among other teams, to begin to gauge his market value.--Rosenthal

Orioles beat writer:

Roch Kubatko @masnRoch
Hearing #braves and #cubs "pushing" for #orioles reliever Brad Brach.


He won't be coming to the Cubs. Orioles beat writers are tweeting that the Braves have traded for Brach.

$250,000 in IFA money. Orioles really are going to sign Mesa.

Heyman just tweeted that Brad Ziegler will be traded soon and the Cubs are a possibility. That seems like the type of prospect he’d get.

Like I said, he's our poor man's Cishek when Cishek' arm falls off.  Almost no chance of being on the playoff roster, if there is one.

Isn’t Ziegler leading the league in games pitched?  His arm
might fall off before Cishek’s.

That’s a fair point. But Ziegler is already used to trying to survive with mid 80’s velocity, and at this point the scar tissue is probably the only thing still attaching the arm to the shoulder.

According to the box score, Luis Ayala was also pulled from the game in the second inning. That’s Giambrone and Ayala so far.

Craig Mish (who was on top of the Stanton/Ozuna/Yelich trades all offseason) responded when someone asked him about Cubs prospects leaving the game:

Craig Mish @CraigMish
The Marlins do not appear to be part of this.
