7/23/25 | Can Tigers Still Rely on Their Surprising Breakout Players in Second Half?. The Detroit Tigers were the best team in baseball, record wise, entering the All-Star break. As shared by Levi Weaver of The Athletic (subscription required), there were 22 players who took at least one at-bat for the Tigers heading into play on July 22. Or the resurgent Javier Baez, who was also an All-Star, changing the narrative that surrounded him coming into the campaign. Viewed as an albatross and sunk cost after performing so poorly in his first three seasons with the Tigers, Baez came out of nowhere as a regular contributor for the team, even turning in stellar production defensively in center field.

7/18/25 | MLB Analyst Projects Tigers Prospects That Could Be Moved at Trade Deadline. The Detroit Tigers are one of the teams who are surefire buyers just two weeks away from the MLB trade deadline.

The New York Mets have been active at the trade deadline since Steve Cohen bought the team prior to the 2021 season, but one of their biggest regrets came from Cohen's first deadline. Desperately seeking to stay afloat in the National League East, the Mets acquired Javier Baez and Trevor Williams from the Chicago Cubs for outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, who has emerged as a top flight center fielder in the windy city. Crow-Armstrong is an All-Star starter for the National League and has been dominant on both sides of the ball, hitting .269 with 20 home runs and 75 RBI entering action on Saturday.

5/28/25 | Breakout April Solidified With Strong May from Chicago Cubs Superstar. Ahead of the 2021 MLB trade deadline, the Chicago Cubs traded away Javier Baez, Trevor Williams, and cash considerations to the New York Mets for a young prospect outfielder, Pete Crow-Armstrong. PCA has always had an elite level of speed and strong defensive abilities in the outfield, but there were not many who could have predicted that his offense would develop into what he has shown to this point in 2025. The 23-year-old burgeoning superstar was on a mission this year to prove he was not just your normal run-of-the-mill speedy centerfielder, but could also help the Cubs win with his bat. After his breakout performance in April, another strong showing in May has legitimized Crow-Armstrong as one of the best in the game this season.
