Here’s The Athletic’s latest reporting on the MLB trade deadline based on team and league sources, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about ongoing deliberations.George Kirby next?Rivals think Mariners could be latest to deal a controllable starterIs George Kirby the next controllable starting pitcher to get traded Monday?Executives who have spoken with the Mariners say they have been actively listening over the weekend on both Kirby, who has two-plus years of control, and Emerson Hancock, who has four-plus years of control.An executive of one club engaged in these talks told The Athletic that the Angels’ trade of José Soriano (to Toronto), so early on Deadline Day morning, opens a clear window for Seattle, with either Kirby or Hancock now looming as the best available starters with multiple years of control.Also of interest, according to teams that have starters to move, is the number of contenders with excellent rotations who are still shopping for starting pitching. Among those teams: the Yankees, Phillies, Red Sox, Brewers and Guardians.And as the Blue Jays’ deal for Soriano indicated, it isn’t only contenders who view the deadline as a shopping opportunity, when controllable starters are on the market.Rival clubs still believe Hancock is more likely to get traded than Kirby, judging by the huge price tag the Mariners have placed on Kirby. But the consensus is that it would be a surprise if Seattle doesn’t trade at least one of them before the deadline arrives. — StarkAntonio Senzatela, too?Rockies showing signs of upcoming movesThe Rockies are expected to make at least two trades before the deadline, and right-handed reliever Antonio Senzatela is almost certain to move, according to people briefed on the team’s discussions.Senzatela, pitching solely as a reliever for the first time this season, has been in heavy demand, even from teams already stocked with relievers. His fastball averages 97 mph, putting him in the top 13th percentile of the league. In 52 1/3 innings, his ERA is 3.61. And as with many Rockies pitchers, his performance is much better on the road than at hitter-friendly Coors Field.
