Weekly Pitcher Rankings: We Have a Trade

Written by

Updated on July 29, 2024 1:07AM EST

Normally, a 91-game week is considered quiet, but this period shakes out to be anything but quiet. James Paxton and Zach Eflin have already been moved, along with several relievers, in what portends to be a busy few days. This year's deadline is Tuesday, July 30 at 4 pm EDT.

As such, be prudent when making decisions on starters reportedly on hug watch.

Please remember I pull the rotations from the Probable Pitchers page, so please direct scheduling questions to those fine folks. I'm happy to address rankings queries below.
