Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is set for today (Aug. 1) at 6 p.m. ET. MLB teams now have less than six hours left to plot out their deadline strategies, and to attempt to buy or sell ahead of the stretch run. (Keep in mind that post-deadline waiver trades remain a thing of the past.) This has already been an eventful deadline, with several big names changing teams in the last week. We will see more trades throughout Tuesday, and Mets star Justin Verlander is the biggest name on the market.
In the past few days, the following players have been traded: Max Scherzer (Mets to Rangers), Lucas Giolito (White Sox to Angels), Lance Lynn (White Sox to Dodgers), Jordan Montgomery (Cardinals to Rangers), Jordan Hicks (Cardinals to Blue Jays), Aaron Civale (Guardians to Rays) and Jeimer Candelario (Nationals to Cubs). We also learned recently that the best player in baseball is not going anywhere this week, as the Angels committed to making a playoff push with free-agent-to-be Shohei Ohtani. In the National League, the Cubs and Padres appear likely to hold on to their players with the same postseason dreams.
Here’s a look at the deadline day deals so far:
