Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.

On Saturday, several days ahead of the Major League Baseball trade deadline, they found their guy: The Royals acquired Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for a young relief pitcher. Grichuk, 33, was a desired target for the Royals this past offseason. He is hitting .243 with seven home runs and 22 RBIs this year.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is Thursday, July 31 at 6 p.m. ET, but there will be plenty of trade talk and transactions that take place beforehand. Here are trade rumors around the sport:

The annual MLB trade deadline not only impacts the final two months of the current season, but it also has a longer-lasting impact in the form of the prospect talent that is sent the other way by contenders.

From the Yankees to the Dodgers, the sport's biggest giants are among the clubs that need to take action ahead of the July 31 deadline.

Just about every year, executives will tell you for weeks that the trade deadline looks muddled — that everyone is waiting to decide their ultimate direction, that maybe there just won’t be that many good players available, that the deadline could be a dud.
