MLB Trades 2021: Dissecting Top Deals Made Heading Towards Deadline

Do not touch that stove, kid. It's scalding hot.

Just days remain until baseball's trade deadline, and the reports of stars and potential impact players being discussed are coming fast and furious. The moves are starting to roll in, too.

The San Diego Padres made the first major splash of deadline week on Sunday when they acquired utility man and MLB hits leader Adam Frazier from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Oakland Athletics followed on Monday night, acquiring left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin from the Chicago Cubs.

It could well be a crazy deadline with a flurry of activity.
