Last week, Buster Olney of ESPN reported the Padres were making Cease available in trade talks with rival teams. Joel Sherman of the New York Post subsequently identified six teams that have inquired about Cease: the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, New York Mets and Chicago Cubs.

“Despite reports that the Boston Red Sox had taken Jarren Duran off the market, San Diego continued to express interest in the longtime target,” Dennis Lin writes.

There is "movement developing" around a potential trade for Atlanta Braves slugger Marcell Ozuna in the two days leading up to the July 31 trade deadline, ESPN's Buster Olney reported Tuesday.

The Brewers improved their backup catcher position, acquiring Danny Jansen from the Rays for infield prospect Jadher Areinamo, according to The Athletic’s Will Sammon.
