What happened: Fred Zinkie highlighted Seattle’s rotation surplus and possible Minnesota deals involving Joe Ryan or Byron Buxton. Detroit’s decision on Tarik Skubal and potential moves involving Kevin Gausman, Freddy Peralta and Foster Griffin could further alter pitching roles.

Why it matters: A contender could improve a starter’s win opportunities, while leaving Seattle would mean surrendering a pitcher-friendly home park. A Minnesota selloff could create a path for Walker Jenkins to reach the majors.

What to watch: Watch Seattle, Minnesota and Detroit through Monday’s deadline. Any rotation exits or veteran sales could create immediate openings.
