As the 2024 MLB trade deadline rapidly approaches, baseball's top teams and playoff hopefuls are eying their last chance to improve their rosters ahead of the postseason. The non-contenders, meanwhile, still have an opportunity to cash in impeding free agents or acquire promising prospects for the future.
The trade deadline is always an exciting time in the baseball world, even if it doesn't deliver many blockbuster deals. It allows for a little bit of a landscape shake-up between the All-Star break and the stretch run.
This year's deadline will come at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, July 30, and it's likely to bring a final flurry of activity.
