Kirk definitely deseeves to go to the allstar game. As for the others i most most dont go. Need to rest and have a great 2nd half.
 


Always had good stuff and he may be able to throw in the mid to high 90s if converted to a reliever, I would give him a shot if the ask is fair.

Like Banda too. Hits 95, could go higher in the pen with good strike out to walk ratio. He could be a pen arm for a few weeks.
 
The ERA is ugly, but the underlying tools and some of his peripherals suggest there's a useful piece in there somewhere, the price is right, and it's not a move that precludes them from trying to find something better when the opportunity arises.
Definitely a pick up to see if he can become a addition to the bullpen. Management would have to be making calls to see if anyone out there is available at the moment.
 

2. The most important buyer at the deadline will be … the Blue Jays

We had so many teams nominated in this category, we could have named pretty much any aspiring contender. But let’s focus on three of them.

BLUE JAYS: It’s easy to overlook this team because it finds itself farther out of first place (12 1/2 games) than the Tigers. But that’s more about the Yankees than the Blue Jays. Through their first 75 games, the Blue Jays had a better record (42-33) than the Cardinals, Twins or Rays. They roll out one of the best offenses in baseball. They’re actively looking to balance their lineup with an Andrew Benintendi-type left-handed bat. And they’re positioned to be one of the most aggressive shoppers in both the starters’ and relievers’ aisles of the deadline superstore.

“Some teams at the deadline are motivated by just trying to make that last wild-card spot,” one exec said. “When the Blue Jays think about making a trade, they’re motivated by what they can do to move the World Series odds.”
