The 2020 MLB trade deadline arrived at 4 p.m. ET on Monday, and with it came a flurry of activity that will have a significant impact on the MLB landscape over the final month of the season.
It was hard not to wonder if the shortened season and ongoing COVID-19 concerns might make for an unusually quiet deadline, but that was not the case.
The San Diego Padres didn't wait for deadline day to start their wheeling and dealing.
On Saturday, Kansas City Royals closer Trevor Rosenthal was acquired in exchange for hard-throwing Gerardo Reyes.
