While the non-waiver deadline came and went July 31 with plenty of movement, trade activity may slow but deals are often completed throughout August on an annual basis. The next date to be mindful of is Thursday, Aug. 31.
Waiver trades can continue into September and October, but a player must be on a club’s roster by the final day in August in order to be eligible for postseason play. With the non-waiver deadline having passed, any player who is traded during this time must first be placed on revocable waivers, which last 47 hours.
Should a player clear waivers, his team can trade him without any restrictions.
