Guardians' Shane Bieber drawing interest ahead of trade deadline
While the Cleveland Guardians might not have the strong trade chips that they previously were thought to have, the team does have one player who has been drawing interest and could net a solid return at the deadline. According to Zack Meisel of The Athletic, the Guardians are receiving interest in starting pitcher Shane Bieber. With four days until the trade deadline, teams are calling Cleveland about Bieber's availability. "The Guardians have received calls on Bieber," Meisel writes, "... The starting pitching market is lacking in sizzle - that is, unless the AL Central reshapes the market. Even with Lugo off the board, Bieber and Minnesota's Joe Ryan would be two of the top names on the market." If the Guardians do decide to move on from Bieber at the trade deadline, they might be able to land a strong return. Even though he hasn't pitched since 2024, the Guardians veteran starter is drawing interest from around the league. But, there's a caveat to a Bieber deal: the Guardians would need to receive upside equivalent to a prospect from the first two rounds of the MLB draft. Bieber is expected to hit free agency with his $16 million player option likely being declined. MORE: Guardians make trade deadline decision on 2.33 ERA reliever If he's a free agent, the Guardians can offer a $21 million qualifying offer. In a scenario where he rejects that offer, Cleveland could get a first-round compensatory pick if he signs for over $50 million, and a second-round pick if he signs for under that number. Regardless, if the Guardians envision a prospect they're offered can be the equivalent of a first or second round compensatory draft choice, then they might consider dealing Bieber at the deadline. They're looking for upside and potential. While landing such a player might be hard for an injured pitcher, Bieber has a rehab start in the minor leagues on Tuesday, three days before the trade deadline, which is likely to be full of scouts. It's a long shot, but the potential of a Bieber trade is real and could come to fruition by the trade deadline, especially if his start in the minors goes well.

Robert and Montgomery homer as the White Sox beat the Phillies 6-2
CHICAGO (AP) — Luis Robert Jr. and Colson Montgomery homered to help the Chicago White Sox beat Cristopher Sánchez and the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 on Monday night. Davis Martin pitched six-hit ball into the sixth inning as Chicago improved to 7-3 since the All-Star break. Lenyn Sosa had three hits, including a run-scoring single. The last-place White Sox need two more wins to match their total from all of last year, when they went 41-121 to break the modern major league record for most losses in a season. Bryce Harper had two hits and two RBIs for Philadelphia, which dropped to 2-2 on a six-game trip. Kyle Schwarber walked three times, and Brandon Marsh finished with two hits. Sánchez (9-3) allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings in his first loss since June 8. The wiry left-hander went 4-0 with a 1.40 ERA in his previous seven starts. Sánchez was staked to a 2-0 lead on Harper's two-run double in the third inning. But Montgomery responded with a two-run drive in the bottom half. Montgomery's 395-foot shot to right was the rookie's fourth homer in his last six games. It also was the first homer for a lefty batter off Sánchez this season. Robert made it 4-2 with his 11th homer, another two-run shot that drifted over the wall in right in the fourth. The center fielder went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts a day after he was hit by a 101.1 mph fastball in the ninth inning of a 5-4 loss to the Cubs. Martin (3-8) struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings in his first win since May 14. Key moment The White Sox tacked on two runs in the eighth on singles by Sosa and Montgomery. Key stat The Phillies struck out 11 times. Up next Phillies left-hander Jesús Luzardo (8-5, 4.58 ERA) starts on Tuesday night, and right-hander Jonathan Cannon (4-7, 4.48 ERA) takes the mound for the White Sox. ___ AP MLB: Jay Cohen, The Associated Press
