The trade deadline is just a few days away, and big names are starting to change teams
• 1 min read
It’s trade season in Major League Baseball. The 2022 MLB trade deadline is set or 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2, meaning teams only have a few days left to shape their rosters for the stretch run. This year’s trade deadline is not short on intrigue or big names. Nationals phenom Juan Soto is the biggest name on the market, and he could fetch one of the biggest trade packages ever seen after reportedly rejecting a contract extension offer in Washington. Willson Contreras, Frankie Montas, Ian Happ, Noah Syndergaard and Josh Bell are some of the other notable names who could be moved by Tuesday night.
The majority of the action will likely come on Tuesday afternoon, but some teams are getting business done early. The Yankees have already acquired outfielder Andrew Benintendi from the Royals, and the Mariners gave their rotation a boost by trading for Luis Castillo of the Reds.
