The 2025 MLB trade deadline is just around the corner, and some teams are already making major moves.<\/p>\n

The Arizona Diamondbacks unofficially kicked things off last week by trading first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners<\/a>, and several teams added their hats to the ring over the weekend. The Yankees made two acquisitions in Ryan McMahon<\/a> and Ahmed Rosario<\/a>, while the Mets traded for Gregory Soto<\/a>. The action should continue in the coming days as MLB’s contenders scramble to add talent with the playoffs two months away.<\/p>\n

Notably, Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, considered a likely trade deadline target, has been placed on paid leave in connection with a sports-gambling investigation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There aren’t any superstars expected to be on the move in 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 will likely need to do something to stand out.<\/p>\n

The deadline officially hits on Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. After that, the only way teams can add a player to their roster is by calling up minor leaguers or signing free agents, and any player who isn’t in the organization by the end of August is ineligible for the postseason.<\/p>\n

Until then, here’s everything you should know about what teams are up to:<\/p>\n
