His strikeout rate is the highest it has ever been at 9.9 per-nine innings. Estrada loves throwing the changeup, throwing more changeups over the last three seasons than anyone other than Jorge de la Rosa. — Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) July 19, 2017We looked at Jaime Garcia earlier this week, but Estrada is a new name reportedly on the Royals' radar. The Royals have been slumping, losing seven of their last eight games to drop to 45-47. Royals are three games out of 1st in the AL Central, and they are asking around about 2 cost-effective starting pitchers and a reliever.
The July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches, and already we've seen some major trades go down. Here are some specifics from Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle:I've heard from major-league sources that the Giants are getting a lot of hits on starter Jeff Samardzija and reliever Hunter Strickland. Samardzija is in his age age-32 season, and he's in the second year of a five-year, $90 million contract. Don't be surprised if he lands on a contender before the deadline arrives. That means that if the Giants want to get any kind of return on him in trade, then they'll need to kick in some cash.
