ST. LOUIS – Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara went five scoreless innings in his final start before the Trade Deadline in Tuesday night’s 5-0 win over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. In what might’ve been his final start in a Marlins uniform,

Eugenio Suarez is having a great season at the plate, and there are some playoff contenders that could use a bat like his in the lineup. The Marlins are not of those teams. Miami could make a surprise run to the postseason, but it's unlikely. Still, there is a chance that they trade for Suarez.

The Miami Marlins are expected to make some moves before the MLB trade deadline, but based on how well they have been playing and on all of the club control they own over most of their intriguing trade assets, they may not sell off as many players as most seem to believe.

Graham Pauley hit his first home run for the Marlins, Sandy Alcantara pitched five scoreless innings and Miami beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 on Tuesday night.

The Nationals are holding on to their biggest guns, Sandy Alcantara interest is on the rise and Boston is circling a division rival.

The Yankees first priorities at the deadline will be pitchers, specifically a starter and some relievers, to make up for injury losses this season. The team have already traded for two infielders: third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies and infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals.

The Houston Astros have been at the top of the league all year, but October will likely be different if they don't add some talent at the trade deadline.

The Astros have been crushed by injuries, and as they pursue another pitcher at the trade deadline, they're eying Padres starter Dylan Cease.
