by Felix Pantaleón

The MLB trade deadline will arrive at 4 p.m. EST on July 31, 2018 (7/31/18). Will the Washington Nationals trade away outfielder Bryce Harper in an effort to begin a rebuild? Where will Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Chris Archer go and which teams are the top suitors? How many relievers will be dealt on Tuesday? Will Yankees general manager Brian Cashman swing a deal for San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen? Are the Mets prepared to stand pat with right-hander Zack Wheeler? Is Phillies general manager Matt Klentak poised to do something big and land an outfielder?

PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT

Tyler Nunez, a C from Lake Nona HS, is a 6'2 190lb athletic catcher who provides strength with the bat and glove. During BP, Tyler stuck with a middle of the field approach while staying on a line. He impacted the ball well with his compact and direct path, T90EV. He showed off his real athleticism behind the plate by posting a 2.04 pop time while staying around the bag on every throw. He is a good looking athletic uncommitted catcher to keep an eye on.
