Trade deadline day in Major League Baseball is here. The 2022 MLB trade deadline was set for Tuesday (Aug. 2) at 6 p.m. ET, meaning teams bolstered their rosters ahead of the playoff push in August and September. This year’s trade deadline wasn’t short on intrigue or big names. The biggest name of all – Juan Soto – is on the move. About six hours before the deadline, the Nationals and Padres agreed to a deal that would send Soto (and Josh Bell) to San Diego and Washington.
The Yankees were one of MLB’s busiest teams before the deadline, acquiring starter Frankie Montas, outfielder Andrew Benintendi and relievers Lou Trevino and Scott Efros, while sending Joey Gallo to the Dodgers. Before the Soto deal, the Padres made a surprising splash when they acquired Josh Hader from the Brewers. The Mariners, meanwhile, made waves by trading for Luis Castillo, the top starting pitcher available.
