The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers are keeping their eyes on versatile infielder Ryan McMahon ahead of the trade deadline at the end of July.

USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote that the Cubs, along with the Dodgers, have interest in Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon, who was an All-Star in 2024. McMahon was a trade target for many teams last year,

The Detroit Tigers tried to make one of the biggest splashes of the offseason when they pursued superstar third baseman Alex Bregman. They ultimately came up short since he signed a high AAV deal with the Boston Red Sox.

The Los Angeles Dodgers released longtime contributor Chris Taylor on Sunday and activated infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman from the 10-day injured list. The Dodgers also placed right-handed reliever Kirby Yates (right hamstring strain) on the 15-day injured list and promoted righty Lou Trivino from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

With their latest flurry of roster moves on Sunday, the Dodgers reinforced a message from earlier in the week: Winning now takes precedence over sentimentality. Los Angeles got a key piece of its lineup back by activating Tommy Edman ahead of the Freeway Series finale.

Taylor, 34, came to the Dodgers in a 2016 trade with the Seattle Mariners for right-hander Zach Lee in a swap of underperforming players. But a swing adjustment to supply more power, and the addition of outfield play, turned him into a valuable contributor.

The move was made after the announcement of Tommy Edman returning to the lineup, mixed with some young talent emerging for the Dodgers.
