Stay up to date with all the latest news and rumors ahead of Friday’s trade deadline.
Friday's trade deadline is fast approaching, and we could see a flurry of moves in the coming days as the playoff push intensifies.
The Rays and Padres have already made notable moves ahead of the trade deadline. Tampa acquired designated hitter Nelson Cruz in a deal with the Twins on July 22, and San Diego traded for All-Star second baseman Adam Frazier three days later. Both clubs could remain active on the trade market as Friday afternoon approaches.
All-Stars Joey Gallo and Trevor Story could also be on the move before 4 p.m. ET on Friday, though one pitcher, in particular, is the most coveted asset available. Nationals starter Max Scherzer is drawing interest from opponents across the league, with the Giants, Dodgers and Padres among the potential suitors, per the MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Scherzer's impending move could very well shape the NL West race before we get to October. A bidding war may be on the horizon in the coming days.
