The 2025 MLB trade deadline is Thursday, July 31 at 6 p.m. ET, but there will be plenty of trade talk and transactions that take place beforehand. Here are trade rumors around the sport:

On Saturday, several days ahead of the Major League Baseball trade deadline, they found their guy: The Royals acquired Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for a young relief pitcher.

The Mets have acquired Baltimore Orioles left-handed reliever Gregory Soto in exchange for pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster on Friday afternoon.
