“Reid Detmers is really coveted... teams certainly will be calling.” 👀 - @JonHeyman on #MLBCentral https://t.co/vqDWOuT Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: Reid Detmers is emerging as a coveted starting pitcher ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Jon Heyman said teams are expected to call about the left-hander.

Why it matters: Detmers offers rotation help beyond a short-term rental because he is under club control through 2028. That combination could increase competition and the potential return before the deadline.

By the numbers: Detmers is 3-6 with a 4.13 ERA in 2026. He has 112 strikeouts across 104 2/3 innings.

What to watch: Watch for interested clubs to begin substantive talks as the deadline approaches. Detmers' upcoming starts could shape his market.
