2025 MLB Trade Deadline Player Snubs
Player snubs happen in sports whether it is the all-star game, offseason, or trade deadline.
Lets talk about the list of MLB players that got snubbed of trades and walk away with a heavy pocket at the deadline.
Zac Gallen
Gallen, ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has been through a shaky outburst and there were rumors he was headed to the New York Yankees. Turns out, New York did not surprise. They made the right decision despite only acquiring David Bednar.
Gallen is a valuable piece because of his injury history but critics say Arizona locked in again with their aggressiveness to retain him.
Dylan Cease
Cease managed to withhold his ground with yet another contender so he is handy but there were rumblings that the Houston Astros expressed interest and that would have formed a devastating recipe.
Mackenzie Gore
Gore is the best pitcher on the block even though Joe Ryan makes a clear argument as well. With a 3.80 ERA this season, he has had work to compile with a mediocre defense which is why a change of scenery could have served him right.
Jarren Duran
Duran clocks in as the final as the Boston Red Sox confused the whole baseball World into buying or selling after the departure of Rafael Devers. The Red Sox stand a possible Wild Card chance but what is more intriguing is that teams could have sworn the colors would look better on something else of Duran considering his status.

What We Learned From The 2025 MLB Trade Deadline
Yesterday, we saw a collassal of trades and, in fact, according to Jomboy Media this was the most entertaining one.
It all began first with Michael Soroka who will be joining Willie Castro in Chicago to compete for a pennant. Both stand servicably well considering they join a winning contender.
In the meantime, Carlos Correa rejoined the Astros after they considered pitching. Correa will play third as Jeremy Pena is the best defensive shortstop without question by looking at his career-high Field percentage.
The one trade that stook out was not Spencer Jones or Paul Skenes. It was Mason Miller. AJ Preller proved to work the phones again but by how much leeway?
The Los Angeles Dodgers receive more ownership suppport than San Diego as Miller would go appreciated to move past Juan Soto and stir things in the Padres competitive bullpen with Jason Adam and Adrian Morejon.
We cannot go without forgetting the Phillies vs. Mets rivalry. The two butted heads as each bought a pitcher and a rental outfielder. Bader can play left and centerfield against his former team while Mullins touches the red apple.
In all seriousness, they were two gaps to fill at closer for both teams going head-to-head in the NL East. Phillies fans will get ready for Jhoan Duran MLB bullpen entrance and wait and see on Ryan Helsley.
Furthermore, it was tight for some but fans got through another deadline and will be back for more MLB coverage or next year of the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline.

Ongoing LIVE Coverage of Los Angeles Chargers vs. Detroit Lions
Rookie Nikko Reed picks off the Detroit Lions for a touchdown by Kimani Vidal.
Sterling Sharpe now being interviewed says he just wanted to play in the NFL. He never wanted the accolades. He acknowledges his brother, Shannon, and talks extremely fast about cigars, drives, and retirement.
Chargers lead 14-0 as Kyle Allen throws another interception to Jefferson with two minutes remaining in the first quarter. Not looking like the premier Texas five star high school recruit at this moment.
A nice 20 punt yard return by Dominic Lovett who led Georgia for a year in receptions. As a seventh-round pick, he might have a chance to earn a roster spot and make his way from special teams to slot receiver.
Chargers lead 14-0 with twelves minutes on the clock and Reynolds converts a first touchdown! Jared Goff being talked about by NBC announcers as he walks around a little nervously on curious camera.
Lovett really making an impression! His helmet comes off with about a mid yard gain but still rises to his feet! Kyle Allen goes for it on fourth after the miraculous hurrah and converts. Allen and Lovett slowly connecting the dots as they enter the red zone. Jabari Small increases the load with a running back gain.
Lovett now honing in on the pressure with Allen as they hit the wide hash mark. The Lions are in the goal line. Reynolds, touchdown! Good variance, of running backs and playcalling as they get their mid-target downfield for a touchdown! 14-7.
Two minute warning.
Jared Allen talking now about his fat and the other Hall of Famers. Allen briefly smiles and takes in the night like he classically did throughout his career with flashbacks of his NBC player introductions.
Touchdown, Chargers! And, to be honest, these balls are streaking down field. No one is taking Trey Lance serious as the game is only in the winds of the second quarter of a Week 1 Preseason meeting.
Back with Allen, and Derrick Thomas grew as an inspiration and standard to not fold in Kansas City. The mullet is mentioned and a screen is shown of Jaromir Jagr, Brian Bosworth, and Andre Agassi, and poll question. Who rocks it better? I think Bosworth even though Jagr owns hockey integrity.
21-7 Chargers. This concludes the ongoing LIVE coverage of Chargers and Lions.

Cam Thomas is the Pride of Brooklyn
Cam Thomas has helped the Brooklyn Nets achieve confidence in loss basketball games. From the fade aways to the pretty armor, former basketball player Jeff Teague has proceeded to compare Thomas, as a same bench specialist, looking to increase quality money, to his payroll with the likes of Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford.
Thomas is a flat out baller when never watching before so do not take your eye off the test. He can faze you in a certain amount of ways and pull up the easy jumper for a whopping 43 percent last year.
That is what made him spectacular emerging out of LSU college.
To lose a familiar stone piece in Thomas would face questions from upstairs. The Brooklyn Nets for years now have tried to create an established identity maybe beginning with that boxer Deron Williams then D’Angelo Russell.
Russell did not go so bad for the Nets but contract year partake to leave and play better for the Golden State Warriors. Thomas has been there through it all.
He does not want to be low balled after being offered a team contract worth two years, $28 million with an option. Brooklyn is of course the 2nd leading drawing New York basketball market.
Thomas is a four year veteran and much will be decided for the pride of the Brooklyn market. Fans have not rallied enough for him there and they shall do so now.

Phillies Acquire Jhoan Duran
On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Phillies acquired Jhoan Duran. Duran clocks in with a 100.7 MPH fastball and a sneaky splinker that some say is one of his only long-term bets.
Duran prided himself on the love of the Minnesota Twins organization and leaves no doubt his time was treasured. The Phillies, on the other hand, are cocky and might rub him the wrong way with President of Baseball Ops Dave Dombrowski steering ship.
Dombrowski wanted it this way as Mets rival acquired Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Phillies will bring in the snake after Jordan Romano, Orion Kerkering, and others wavered throughout the season. Duran is used to throwing multiple scoreless innings at some points and records a sharp 2.01 ERA.
Nothing can devastate the basic battle in the NL East as the Mets currently lead by one and the Phillies forfeit Mick Abel and prospect Eduardo Tait which is tearing in itself.
Tait might be the only repercussion as time lingers as Phillies management likes to surrender talent in the past such as Logan O‘Hoppe with a rising potential catcher bat.
In other ways than not, Abel’s time ended shortly but not for long in MLB.
Duran is a good deal for now but overall. The Phillies acquired a short term piece who is under team control until 2027.
