As the calendar gets closer to August Anthony Santander Jersey , the trade deadline looms over MLB and will continue to do so through July 31.Contending teams like the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox have already made significant moves, but no general manager can ever feel confident that enough has been done. That won't be determined until the last out of the World Series is completed.There are non-contending teams that are clearly in a sell mode as the season hits the far turn on MLB's version of the racetrack. The Toronto Blue Jays may have started the season with hopes of becoming a wild-card team, but they have been a streaky team with more downturns than upswings this season.As a result, they are willing to move several pitchers. Toronto would like to trade starter J.A. Happ and relievers Tyler Clippard and John Axford, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.Happ made the American League All-Star team, but he has been somewhat inconsistent. He has a 10-6 record with a 4.18 earned-run average and 130 strikeouts in 114.0 innings.The 33-year-old Clippard is a well-traveled veteran, and he has a 4-3 record with a 3.54 ERA and seven saves in 13 opportunities. Axford has pitched 48.0 innings with a 4-1 record and a 4.69 ERA.The Chicago Cubs are looking to add to their pitching staff, and Chicago baseball insider Bruce Levine of radio station WSCR reported that they are looking at Chris Archer of the Tampa Bay Rays http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-brach-jersey , Danny Duffy of the Kansas City Royals and Dylan Bundy of the Baltimore Orioles.The Cubs also had interest in reliever Zach Britton of the Orioles before he was traded Tuesday to the New York Yankees.Levine reported that Chicago has turned its attention to American League hurlers because that league has more non-contending teams, and that means a greater volume of players may be available.The Cubs don't necessarily want to make a deal involving key players on their 25-man roster, and that may be the reason they were unable to complete deals for Britton or former New York Mets reliever Jeurys Familia, who was traded to the Oakland A's.The Boston Red Sox made a big deal Wednesday when they acquired pitcher Nathan Eovaldi from the Tampa Bay Rays for Jalen Beeks, per Ken Rosenthal of Fox and The Athletic.The Red Sox have suffered some injuries to their starting staff, as Steven Wright and Eduardo Rodriguez are both on the disabled list. The right-handed Eovaldi also gives the Red Sox more balance in their starting staff since Chris Sale, David Price and Rodriguez are left-handed.Eovaldi has a 3-4 record with a 4.26 ERA with 48 strikeouts and just eight walks in 57.0 innings."We feel very comfortable with him," manager Alex Cora said, per Zachary Silver of MLB.com. "We feel he's going to be good for us."The Red Sox may also be looking at Texas Rangers pitcher Jake Diekman Colby Rasmus Jersey , as well as pitchers Zach Duke and Fernando Rodney of the Minnesota Twins, per Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.There are five more days to go before the deadline, and quite a bit of talking and perhaps several deals will be completed before the end of July. The New York Yankees have acquired outfielder and 2013 NL MVP Andrew McCutchen and cash from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for two prospects, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.Per Hoch, San Francisco will receive 23-year-old infielder Abiatal Avelino and pitcher Juan De Paula,聽the Yankees 23rd and 26th ranked prospects by MLB Pipeline, respectively.The Yankees get valuable outfield depth as they continue to await the return of slugger Aaron Judge, who's been out since late July with a wrist injury. New York currently occupies the top wild card spot in the American League, and they're nine games clear of the Seattle Mariners http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-craig-gentry-jersey , who trail the Oakland Athletics by 4.5 games for the second spot.advertisingThe 31-year-old McCutchen hasn't put up his usual All-Star numbers, but he's been effective with a .255 batting average, 15 home runs, 55 RBI and an OPS of .722. He's still drawing plenty of walks with 73, the same amount as all of last year. Credit: Neville E. Guard-USA TODAY SportsMcCutchen is a free agent at the end of the season, so it's a low-risk and safe move for the Yankees. Judge still isn't swinging a bat, which is concerning for the Pinstripes, as the postseason is only a month away.'Cutch' brings valuable insurance and has eight games of playoff experience, all with the Pittsburgh Pirates. McCutchen has a career .321 batting average and .798 OPS Andrew Cashner Jersey , and his strong clubhouse presence will be a positive addition to the Yankees.advertisingFor the Giants,聽they're facing their third non-playoff season in four years, and it was time to start selling off some of their roster players. McCutchen wasn't going to re-sign in San Francisco, so it only made sense to get something for him, rather than lose him for nothing.Adding McCutchen now means the Yankees can stay calm and patiently wait for Judge's return. McCutchen isn't a 50-home run guy, but he does enough to fill the void until Judge returns to the lineup.
