It’s trade season in Major League Baseball. The 2022 MLB trade deadline is set for or 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday (Aug. 2), meaning teams have just a few hours left to solidify their rosters for the stretch run. This year’s trade deadline is not short on intrigue or big names. Nationals phenom Juan Soto is the biggest name on the market and could land one of the biggest trade packages ever after reportedly turning down a contract extension offer in Washington. The biggest action will likely happen Tuesday afternoon, but some teams aren’t waiting to get their work done. The Yankees were one of MLB’s busiest teams, acquiring first baseman Frankie Montas, outfielder Andrew Benintendi and relievers Lou Trivino and Scott Efross. The Padres made a splash on Monday when they acquired Josh Hader from the Brewers, and the Mariners made waves by trading for Luis Castillo, the top starting pitcher. Willson Contreras, Ian Happ, Noah Syndergaard and Josh Bell are some of the other notable names that could be moved by Tuesday night. Want to track every important transaction before the deadline?
