The 2019 MLB trade deadline arrives Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, and there is still time for major deals to be completed despite the deafening silence thus far this trade season.
While there is a dearth of options as far as impact bats, several quality starters and a bevy of late-inning relief arms are available for teams that want to bolster their pitching staffs.
Nothing is guaranteed in the days that lead up to the trade deadline, and a steady stream of rumors serves as a smokescreen for those on the outside looking in.
However, the five impact trade proposals that follow are as likely to happen as any that have been talked about this summer.
