News » Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderso

n is reportedly generating significant interest in the lead up to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network Preston Tucker Jersey , the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies have shown interest in the 37-year-old.Granderson entered Monday with a .233/.334/.419 slash line to go with 10 home runs in 86 games.With the veteran heading into free agency in the offseason and the Blue Jays currently 48-56 on the year鈥?3.5 games out of a playoff spottrade at this point is a no-brainer.Additionally, a deal like this makes a lot of sense for both teams currently linked to Granderson.The Yankees have an elite outfield when healthy, but star right fielder Aaron Judge is out at least three weeks due to awrist injury. Clint Frazier is also currently on the disabled list with a concussion.Adding Granderson could provide New York with a short-term fill-in who can also bring valuable depth for the remainder of the season. He can play all three outfield spots and has played postseason games with four different teams, including the Yankees from 2010-12.Meanwhile, the Phillies could use more depth in their lineup as well as a veteran presence to an otherwise young locker room. With Adam Jones unlikely to approve a trade, perDan Connollyof The Athletic, Granderson represents a quality alternative at the 11th hour.

Realmuto, per reportsJasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsIf it feels as if you’ve landed on Red Repoter dot com and seen a story about Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto about sixteen different times over the last two months, well, that’s probably because it’s close to the truth. The Cincinnati Reds have been continually connected with the All-Star backstop from the rebuilding Marlins, and that’s something that apparently is still the case, according to Fanrag’s Jon Heyman.Still!The Los Angeles Dodgers http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-greinke-jersey , of course, let Yasmani Grandal go in free agency after the end of the 2018 season, so they’re certainly in the mix for an upgrade at catcher. The San Diego Padres, meanwhile, boast both Francisco Mejia and Austin Hedges as top-quality young options at backstop, but given their recent connection to potentially signing Manny Machado and super-stacked farm system, perhaps they’re eyeing multiple big-ticket moves to help dig themselves out of the NL West cellar.Funny, that sounds a lot like what the Reds have been up to this winter while trying to get out of the NL Central basement...Again Randy Johnson Jersey , it’s clear that Realmuto is an upgrade over pretty much any catching scenario in the majors - his 8.6 fWAR over the last two seasons is far and away the best among catchers in all of baseball. Still, with the Reds needing upgrades in other places (read: in the rotation, potentially, and perhaps in CF), it’s odd to see them chasing a catcher, especially considering top prospect Taylor Trammell has been the rumored ask from the fish throughout this process. Factor in the team-friendly deal inked by Tucker Barnhart just two seasons ago, and the fact that the Reds other catching option, Curt Casali A. J. Pollock Jersey , has a lengthy history with new pitching coach Derek Johnson and the recently extended Sonny Gray from their days at Vanderbilt University, and it would seem adding Realmuto would be creating quite the roster logjam.Unless, of course, Barnhart is somehow involved in any prospective deal, which is another rabbit hole in which we can fall:Regardless of the outcome, it’s once again encouraging to see the Reds so intimately interested in the best available pieces in baseball today. That’s certainly something we’ve not been able to say for quite a while. Stay tuned...
