3:45 p.m.: Bad news, Chris Sale suitors.
I've now heard twice today that the odds of Chris Sale getting traded are "less than 5 percent." White Sox seem more curious than serious
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) July 31, 2016
3:41 p.m.: It appears the Rangers have emerged as a front-runner for Lucroy. Texas is not on Lucroy’s no-trade list.
Source tells me Lucroy to Rangers is in "final phase." I know more than anyone that no deal is done before its done.

— Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) July 31, 2016
2:39 p.m.: The Mets have their eyes on the Cincinnati Reds’ All-Star outfielder.
Correcting earlier item: #Mets are, in fact, still in mix on Jay Bruce. If #Dodgers get Reddick, Mets could be landing spot for Bruce.
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 31, 2016
2:35 p.m.: The Giants still are looking for pitching and could go after a former Boston Red Sox starter.

— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 31, 2016
2:04 p.m.: The latest on the Archer-to-L.A. rumors:
#Rays believe #Dodgers are one of about four teams with talent to land Archer. Question now is whether any of those clubs will meet price.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 31, 2016
If LAD "puts out" (high demand: 4+ prospects) for Archer, Puig talks still strong, but packaged. Think Gonzalez, Beckett &…Punto? Cut bait
— Angela (@The26thMan) July 31, 2016
1:54 p.m.: All eyes are on Hollywood.
#Dodgers well-positioned to land Jay Bruce or Josh Reddick in the next 24 hours.
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 31, 2016
1:50 p.m.: The Baltimore Orioles and Giants both are in the hunt for a starting pitcher.
#Orioles and #SFGiants among top contenders for Jeremy Hellickson, a little more than 24 hours before buzzer, sources say. @MLB
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 31, 2016
1:35 p.m.: The Dodgers have been in the thick of trade rumors and reportedly are going after Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer.
Sources: #Dodgers pursuing #Rays’ Archer. One of many pitching options under consideration. Likely weighing values of other TB starters too.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 31, 2016
12:50 p.m.: Kansas City Royals closer Wade Davis was rumored to be a trade target, but this news likely means he’s staying put ahead of the deadline.
https://twitter.com/MLBRosterMoves/status/759792608335925249
12:33 p.m.: The New York Mets originally were rumored to be going after Lucroy and could revisit trade talks.
Sources: #Mets weighing options, discussing whether to jump back in on Lucroy, and to what extent.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 31, 2016
12:30 p.m.: The San Francisco Giants are in the hunt for a reliever and could be looking at a couple options in Milwaukee.
The #SFGiants have checked in with the #Brewers on relievers Will Smith and Jeremy Jeffress now that top closers are off the board.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) July 31, 2016
12:15 p.m.: The Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays reportedly both are interested in Oakland Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick and pitcher Rich Hill.
#Dodgers tried for Hill/Reddick package, as @pgammo reported. #BlueJays also contacted #Athletics about both players, per sources.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 31, 2016
11:52 a.m.: Just because Lucroy isn’t going to Cleveland doesn’t mean he’s staying in Milwaukee.
Stands to reason #Brewers will continue trying to move Lucroy. #Dodgers indeed were in mix, likely spinning him elsewhere. @Jonheyman on it.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 31, 2016
11:38 a.m: A bit more insight on Lucroy’s decision to spurn the Indians, via Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan:
Sources: Jonathan Lucroy wanted Indians to rip up 2017 club option to get him to waive no-trade clause. Understandably, Cleveland said no.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 31, 2016
It's understandable, too, that Jonathan Lucroy asked for 2017 club option to go away. No-trade clause is cudgel. Should be wielded as such.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 31, 2016
11:17 a.m.: The Arizona Diamondbacks reportedly are getting a minor league pitcher in return for Clippard.
Can confirm this. #Dbacks to get RHP Vicente Campos in deal. https://t.co/0zXC53G605

2. Red Sox
3. Athletics
4. Rays
5. Marlins
6. Twins

8. Diamondbacks— C. Trent Rosecrans (@ctrent) July 31, 2016
10:55 a.m.: The next big news of the day involves a player staying right where he is.
Jonathan Lucroy has exercised his no-trade clause and vetoed trade from #Brewers to Indians. Details to come.
— Tom (@Haudricourt) July 31, 2016
10:49 a.m.: Could the Los Angeles Dodgers swipe Jonathan Lucroy from under the Indians’ noses? It’s possible, but unlikely.
dodgers believed to have had lucroy talks, too. so perhaps they were 2nd mystery team. interesting to note if lucroy vetoes
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) July 31, 2016
dodgers discussion about lucroy involved a larger deal. dodgers continue to have faith in yasmani grandal.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) July 31, 2016

10:20 a.m. ET: It took a while, but the chips are starting fall across Major League Baseball.
The Cleveland Indians were the latest ones to make a splash Sunday, acquiring All-Star reliever Andrew Miller from the New York Yankees. But there’s still plenty of time before Monday’s 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline, and several teams could follow the Indians-Yankees trade by making their own deals.
The rumors are flying fast, so follow along with the latest in our MLB trade rumors live blog.
