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. ET on Tuesday (Aug. 2), meaning teams only have a few hours left to solidify 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.
The most action will likely come on Tuesday afternoon, but some teams aren’t waiting to get business done. The Yankees have been one of MLB‘s busiest teams, acquiring starter Frankie Montas, outfielder Andrew Benintendi and relievers Lou Trivino and Scott Effross. The Padres made a surprising splash Monday when they acquired Josh Hader from the Brewers, and the Mariners made waves by trading for Luis Castillo, the top starting pitcher available.
Willson Contreras, Ian Happ, Noah Syndergaard and Josh Bell are some of the other notable names who could be moved by Tuesday night.
