A few more thoughts about the MLB trade deadline

Related Topics: Major League Baseball (MLB)

We stand four days from MLB’s 2024 trade deadline. Officially, deals have to be completed by 5 p.m. CT on Tuesday, July 30, though we’ll certainly hear news of some dribble out for an hour or so after that.

Two deals have been completed as of this writing: The Marlins sent reliever A.J. Puk to the Diamondbacks for a pair of minor leaguers, and the Rays traded Randy Arozarena to the Mariners for a couple of prospects and a PTBNL. As recently as a year ago the latter deal would have been huge news, but Arozarena’s not having a good year, though he’s been hitting better lately.
