Trade deadline day in Major League Baseball is here. The 2022 MLB trade deadline is set for Tuesday (Aug. 2) at 6 p.m. ET, meaning teams have less than four hours left to improve their rosters before the playoff push in August and September. This year’s trade deadline isn’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.
Trades are happening on Tuesday, but some teams didn’t wait to make a trade. The Yankees have been one of MLB’s busiest teams before the deadline, acquiring starter Frankie Montas, outfielder Andrew Bentendi and relievers Lou Trevino and Scott Efros, while sending Joey Gallo to the Dodgers. Before the basement 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.
