The 2025 MLB trade deadline is just around the corner, and teams are already making moves.
The Arizona Diamondbacks unofficially kicked things off last week by trading first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners, and several other teams got in the mix over the weekend. The Yankees made two acquisitions in Ryan McMahon and Ahmed Rosario, and the Mets traded for Gregory Soto. The action should continue in the coming days, as MLB’s contenders scramble to add talent ahead of the season’s stretch run.
On Monday, Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, considered a likely trade target, was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through Aug. 31 in connection with a sports-gambling investigation.
There aren’t many superstars expected to be on the move ahead of this deadline, but every contender has a hole to fill. No team is running away from the field in the standings, which means some teams likely need to do something to stand out.
The deadline is 6 p.m. ET Thursday. After that, the only ways teams can add to their rosters are by calling up minor leaguers or signing free agents, and any player who isn’t in an organization by the end of August is ineligible for the postseason.
