2. The trade season begins?
The 2025 draft is now officially over, meaning the attention of the front desk around the game can be completely turned to the upcoming trade deadline. There have been several deals, including the shocking one last month Rafael Devers Blockbusters and exchanges of sending draft capital from orioles to rays in exchange for relief Brian Baker last week. In most cases, the team has been insisting on taking practical meaning. Several clubs on the edge of the season are still weighing whether to sell the future or try to push this year – or some combination of the two. While fans waited for the transaction to start sending money, MLBTR front desk subscribers and signed in to our transaction deadline Outlook series. Meanwhile, we are on the top 40 trade candidates for the 2025 deadline as a starter for the trade season.
