MLB Mailbag: Deadline questions across Blue Jays, White Sox, Giants, Pirates, Royals
Toronto (46-56, -63 RD) faces a sell-off decision with Cease (2.67 ERA, 155 SO, 0.267 xwOBA) as the only rotation piece worth keeping; Gausman's no-trade clause and poor performance (4.51 ERA, 4-9) limit deadline flexibility. Pittsburgh (53-50, +51 RD) continues building around Skenes (3.43 ERA, 138 SO, 0.259 xwOBA) while Kansas City (43-60, -96 RD) and San Francisco (42-60, -64 RD) are deeper sellers.
