The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position about the demand for starting pitchers and potential trades. It also uses emotional manipulation by creating a sense of urgency with phrases like 'It's deadline day!' and 'Happy deadline day, everyone.'
Teams might tell Harris, ‘Sorry, we’re not going to do something stupid just because the Astros seemingly overpaid.’ But again, the laws of supply and demand might take over.
The big question: Will the price the Astros paid for Kikuchi compel a team to exploit the market with a starter who is not thought to be available? Or will the desire of sellers to extract the same type of package the Blue Jays did for Kikuchi stall the market?
The demand for starting pitching is so intense that the Chicago White Sox might get their price for Crochet even with all the concerns about his availability for the postseason.

At least eight teams are still looking for starting pitchers, including the Yankees, Orioles, Red Sox, Guardians, Twins in AL and Mets, Dodgers and Padres in NL.
Jameson Taillon of Chicago Cubs could attract significant trade interest due to his availability.
The Orioles are looking for another starter and a right-handed hitting outfielder and reliever.
The Yankees need to add swing-and-miss to the bullpen, another bat possibly a right-handed platoon partner for Ben Rice at first base, and a starter.
The Red Sox are targeting relievers and could use a right-handed hitting middle infielder and possibly a starter.
Texas Rangers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Yankees and Red Sox are among the clubs that still want to add offense. Yandy Díaz and Luis Rengifo could be traded.
Pedro Grifol’s job as White Sox manager might be in danger due to their losing streak.
The San Diego Padres are in contention for the National League’s final wild-card spot.
A.J. Preller, president of baseball operations, says they have a team that ‘has a lot of fight’ and has put pressure on other teams with big comeback wins.
Fernando Tatis Jr. initially feared he would miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right leg but is now optimistic that he will be back at some point.
Accuracy
The Padres are in contention for the National League's final wild-card spot.
The Padres have played 50-49 and are one game back from the wild-card spot, with 63 more games left in the season.
The Padres' rotation has produced a 4.18 ERA since June 1 and the bullpen has coughed up a 4.93 ERA, making it clear they cannot make much of a postseason run with their current pitchers.
