Trade deadline day is here in Major League Baseball. The MLB 2022 trade deadline or 6pm ET is set for Tuesday (August 2), meaning teams have only minutes to consolidate their rosters before the playoff round begins in August and September. This year’s trade deadline isn’t short for machinations or big names. The biggest name ever – Juan Soto – is on the move. About six hours before the deadline, Nationals and Padres agreed to a deal that would send Soto (and Josh Bell) to San Diego and a host of high-profile potential clients to Washington.
Dealers fly on Tuesday, but some teams haven’t waited to get the business done. The Yankees He was one of the busiest teams in MLB ahead of the deadline, capturing rookie Frankie Montas, quarterback Andrew Benentende and underdogs Lou Trevino and Scott Evros, while sending Joey Gallo to the Dodgers. Before the soto deal, the Padres made a surprise splash when they acquired Josh Hader from Brewers. Meanwhile, the Mariners made waves by trading for Luis Castillo, the best pitcher available.
