Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer.The interest around the 29-year-old is intensifying by the hour Justin Grimm Jersey , but there's no guarantee a deal will get done due to Tampa Bay's high asking price.Zack Wheeler and the New York Mets could be in a similar situation as Tuesday's deadline approaches, as the National League East bottom feeders attempt to get as much as they can in exchange for the 28-year-old.In addition to Archer and Wheeler, there are a handful of relief pitchers still on the market who could help contending teams, while most of the marquee position players on the trade market have been dealt.Below is a look at the latest buzz surrounding Archer, Wheeler and others. Handful Of Teams Chasing Archer Despite UncertaintyThe teams interested in Archer are taking quite the gamble as the time to close deals dwindles.Although there's no guarantee Archer is completely available on the trade market, Atlanta, San Diego, the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are showing serious interest, per Marc Topkin of theTampa Bay Times.According to Topkin, St. Louis and Pittsburgh are among a group of close to 12 teams that have expressed some type of interest in Archer, but the Braves, Padres and Yankees have the best chances to land the starting pitcher because of their deep farm systems.In preparation for a potential deal, the Rays scouted Yankees top prospect Justus Sheffield Saturday, but according to Joel Sherman of theNew York Post,they have a slim chance of bringing in another player from American League East rival:Joel Sherman Joelsherman1#Rays have 2 scouts watching Justus Sheffield tonight, but 1 is regular coverage. Still hearing that it is a long shot #Yankees end up with Archer. They are monitoring. But #Padres and others are pursuing in stronger way. Remains uncertain if Archer will even be moved.If the Padres were involved in a pennant race, it would make sense for them to go all in for Archer by sending some of their top prospects to the Rays.However, that isn't the case at the moment, and any potential deal between Tampa Bay and San Diego would have the Padres' long-term future in mind since Archer is under team control until 2021.The Braves and Yankees would be ideal destinations for Archer, but the Yankees might have to pay a higher price because the Rays would be dealing with a divisional foe and would still have to face Archer.If the teams in the mix for Archer aren't willing to pay a hefty price http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , the market could develop more in the offseason when teams with less urgency to win pop into the picture.Even though Tuesday's deadline is on the horizon, no one is quite sure of Tampa Bay's intentions, which could lead to plenty of drama as time ticks down Tuesday afternoon. Mets Setting High Price For WheelerThe Mets have been in a peculiar position over the last weeks, as they've been willing to trade some players but have been more stingy with others.Given the recent success of Wheeler, the Mets are hiking up the price, which has led to no significant offers, per Fancred's Jon Heyman:Joel Sherman Joelsherman1#Rays have 2 scouts watching Justus Sheffield tonight, but 1 is regular coverage. Still hearing that it is a long shot #Yankees end up with Archer. They are monitoring. But #Padres and others are pursuing in stronger way. Remains uncertain if Archer will even be moved.If a deal involving Wheeler occurs, it will produce a much larger haul than the recent trades of Jeurys Familia to Oakland and Asdrubal Cabrera to Philadelphia.If a team prises Wheeler away from the Big Apple, it will receive a starter coming off two of his best starts of the season.Two days before the All-Star break, Wheeler gave upfour earned runs in 7.2 innings of work against the Washington Nationals.Wheeler improved on those numbers July 24, as he tossed seven innings against the Padres in which he let up four hits and two earned runs.You can't blame the Mets for setting Wheeler's price high because of his last two starts and the demand for starters on the trade market.At this point in time, a deal doesn't look like it will get done, but a desperate contender could always come in with an offer the Mets can't refuse.Contenders Talking to Rangers About KelaTexas Rangers closer Keone Kela could be the next reliever to be dealt.The Dodgers and Braves, both of whom are in search of bullpen upgrades, are at the forefront of the discussions regarding Kela, per MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan.With 24 saves in 38 appearances, a 3.44 ERA and 1.145 WHIP, Kela could produce a nice return of prospects for the Rangers while improving the late-inning pitching of the team he ends up with.Brandon Wade/Associated PressThe Dodgers made the first splash of the July trade market by bringing in Manny Machado from Baltimore, but they still need to provide Kenley Jensen with help in the latter innings of games.Kela is one of a few relievers who could be an ideal fit for the Dodgers Blaine Boyer Jersey , but in order to bring the 25-year-old over to the National League, they might have to give up more young players than they want.Atlanta isn't in desperate need of a reliever after acquiring Jonny Venters from Tampa Bay and Brad Brach from Baltimore, but you can never have too many power arms in the bullpen.How much the Braves chase after Kela could be determined by their interest in Archer and other players in positions of need.If the Braves back away in an attempt to improve another facet of their roster, the Dodgers could be in prime position to swoop up Kela.Follow Joe on Twitter, JTansey90Statistics obtained from Baseball Reference CINCINNATI (AP) — Christian Yelich was held without a homer for the first time this season, but the Cincinnati Reds couldn’t get him out with the game on the line.Yelich doubled in the ninth inning and scored the tiebreaking run Monday night, rallying the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-3 victory in front of the smallest crowd in Great American Ball Park history.The National League’s MVP had homered in each of Milwaukee’s first four games, tying the major league record shared by Willie Mays (1971), Mark McGwire (1998), Nelson Cruz (2011), Chris Davis (2013) and Trevor Story (2016). On Monday, his only hit set up the Brewers’ fourth win in five games.He doubled with two outs off Raisel Iglesias (0-1) and came around on Ryan Braun’s second double of the game.“It doesn’t have to be a homer,” Brewers starter Zach Davies said. “He’s clutch. He comes up in the big moments and nobody worries. He’s got a great approach, and everything is going right right now.”Alex Wilson (1-0) allowed one hit over 1 2/3 innings. Josh Hader gave up a double in the ninth before getting his third save in three chances.Players wore facemasks in 40-degree temperatures. The announced crowd of 7,799 was the smallest in the ballpark’s history, coming a season after Cincinnati had its worst home attendance since 1984.It was quite a change for the defending NL Central champs, who took three of four from the rival Cardinals at Miller Park before playing in the cold in front of a small crowd.“It was different, for sure,” manager Craig Counsell said. “But look, that’s major league baseball. You’ve got to perform in different scenarios and circumstances. You’ve just got to get through it and gut through it and it’s nice to do it with a win.”Tanner Roark gave up three runs in the first inning and lasted 4 1/3 innings in his debut with the Reds http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , who got him from the Nationals as part of their offseason overhaul of the rotation. Milwaukee sent nine batters to the plate in the top of the first, which lasted 20 minutes. Jesus Aguilar’s two-run single highlighted the rally.“I was just all over the place,” said Roark, who needed 34 pitches to get through the inning. “I wasn’t throwing strikes. I was falling behind and had to throw fastballs.”Yasiel Puig got his first hit with the Reds — and the first by a Cincinnati outfielder — to end a streak of 14 scoreless innings. His two-run double in the fifth off Davies cut it to 3-2. Davies gave up four hits in five innings.Derek Dietrich grounded into a run-producing force-out that tied it in the sixth.TRAINER’S ROOMReds: Right-hander Hunter Greene, the second overall pick in 2017, had a setback while throwing last week and will need Tommy John surgery. Greene didn’t pitch after July 26 last season because of a sprained ligament in the elbow. He was cleared to throw over the winter. Dick Williams, the president of baseball operations, said MRIs found new damage to the ligament.STREAK BUSTEDThe Brewers ended a streak of 22 straight games with a homer at GABP since Sept. 13, 2016, the longest homer streak by any team at the ballpark.YELICH WRECKS THE REDSYelich batted .482 against the Reds last season with seven homers and 17 RBIs. He hit for the cycle twice against Cincinnati.SEE YAReds left fielder Matt Kemp was ejected after he questioned a called third strike in the fifth inning and continued yelling at plate umpire Jeff Nelson. He’s 0 for 7 this season with three strikeouts.OUTS IN THE OUTFIELDReds outfielders Jesse Winker, Scott Schebler, Puig and Kemp are a combined 1 for 34 with 13 strikeouts.NOT HAPPYDavies was upset when Derek Dietrich extended his right elbow toward the strike zone and was brushed by one of his pitches. Dietrich was hit by pitches 93 times during his six seasons with the Marlins, setting a club record.“When you stick your elbow out and you’re trying to get hit, it’s kind of bush league baseball, I guess,” Davies said.BEAT THE SHIFTYasmani Grandal beat a four-man outfield alignment for his first hit with the Brewers, a single down the line in right. Reds manager David Bell moved second baseman Jose Peraza to left field and shifted the rest of the outfielders toward right.UP NEXTBrewers: Jhoulys Chacin (1-0) allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings of the Brewers’ opening win over St. Louis. He’s 0-2 with a 4.22 ERA in five starts and one relief appearance at Great American Ball Park.Reds: Anthony DeSclafani makes his season debut. He missed the first two months last season with a strained oblique but led the rotation with seven wins. He was 0-1 in three starts against Milwaukee with a 6.00 ERA last season.
