MLB trade deadline: All of our 2025 deals and grades in one place
As Major League Baseball's trade deadline approaches at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, here's where we will track each notable move. We previously dissected the mid-June trade of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Click the links for recent trades below to find further context and grades for each side. Grade excerpt: 'If you told the Brewers they'd be right near the top of the National League the week of the trade deadline, you wouldn't think they'd even consider adding a catcher. But William Contreras, a centerpiece of the Milwaukee lineup in recent years, has had a down season and is working through a fracture in his hand. While the rest of the Brewers' lineup has surged in July, Contreras' OPS is under .600 this month. His backup, Eric Haase, has an OPS just north of .500 this month.' Advertisement Grade excerpt: 'I see no reason to love or hate this move for either side. The Tigers get a guy who will cover innings and give them another option down the stretch. Would they feel great giving Paddack the ball in the postseason? Not great, no, but he's been there before. And that's a nervous feeling that, in theory, the Tigers will address with a couple more trades this week. The Twins, meanwhile, get an undersized switch-hitting catching prospect who has a clearer path toward big league playing time in Minnesota than he did in the Tigers organization.' – Stephen Nesbitt Grade excerpt: 'The Yankees are in free fall, and are simply trying to make the postseason at this point. It's going to take a patchwork effort to make that happen, and that's exactly what Rosario represents. He's not a big piece of the puzzle, but he can help offensively.' — Sam Blum Grade excerpt: 'Grichuk represents a nice addition for a contending team. He's always hit lefties well and provides a strong veteran presence. The question is whether the Royals are real contenders. The stakes of this particular trade are low. But it telegraphs Kansas City as buyers when the team might not be in a great position to make a postseason run.' — Sam Blum Grade excerpt: 'McMahon is an excellent defender who will improve a Yankees club plagued by fielding lapses in recent weeks. (Or, years, depending on your perspective.) McMahon is a weaker hitter than impending free agent Eugenio Suárez, the other top third baseman on the market, but he affords some stability at the position beyond this year.' — Andy McCullough Advertisement Grade excerpt: 'Soto is more on the specialist side of the left-handed spectrum, so he's not going to help prevent José Buttó or Ryne Stanek from getting overworked, and he's not likely to absorb too many full innings as a bridge to the late-inning crew. It'll be more common for him to get pushed out of a plane with a parachute and orders to get Kyle Schwarber out with the bases loaded. Godspeed, southpaw.' — Grant Brisbee Grade excerpt: 'Naylor represents a significant upgrade. He's one of the hardest regulars in the sport to strike out; the Mariners have been a bottom-five team in strikeouts the past three seasons. It's a nice match. And while Naylor's barrel rate has lagged this season, he's still showing plenty of power and is a constant force against righties.' — Stephen Nesbitt (Top photo of Josh Naylor with his new team: Luke Hales / Getty Images

Yankees, Trade Deadline Sellers? Aaron Judge Injury Nearly Forced Their Hand
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Aaron Judge's elbow injury has altered the New York Yankees' trade deadline plans during a down month of July — and could have altered them more, according to a new report. Andy Martino of SNY told Rich Herrera Tuesday on the Bret Boone podcast (sans Boone, now the Texas Rangers' hitting coach) that the Yankees were contemplating trading players off their major league roster before the 6 p.m. ET Thursday deadline depending on Judge's diagnosis. "On Friday night, the Yankees brass went to bed thinking Aaron Judge maybe, probably needs Tommy John surgery," Martino said. "They really were worried about that. Had that happened, there's a good chance the Yankees turn into sellers because they were already having a tough time. "You lose Judge after already losing (Gerrit) Cole, maybe just reload ... trade some free agents to be," Martino continued. "That obviously didn't happen. Judge should be back around the 10-day mark. He just has a flexor strain, but the team's still playing poorly and sometimes it's not your year." Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees looks on during the fifth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Yankee Stadium on July 27, 2025 in the Bronx borough of New York City. Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees looks on during the fifth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Yankee Stadium on July 27, 2025 in the Bronx borough of New York idea of selling at the deadline is anathema to Yankees fans, who annually expect their team to win the World Series. New York followed up its 2024 American League pennant by racing out to a 42-25 start through June 12. The Yankees are 15-24 since then. A season-ending injury to Judge, the 2024 AL MVP and the 2025 leader in Wins Above Replacement, would have sunk their chances even further. Going off this timeline: July 29/30: Tee work resumes Aug. 5: Eligible to return from IL (team is on road at TEX) Aug. 8: Team returns home vs. HOU Aug. 8-13: Throwing resumes — Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) July 29, 2025 At 57-49, New York is currently in the top Wild Card position in the AL, but only 1.5 games separate the Yankees and the fourth-place Texas Rangers (56-51) in the race for three Wild Card spots. More news: Yankees Make Trade, Send Veteran Pitcher to Atlanta Ahead of Trade Deadline What's more, Judge might not be back around the 10-day mark, the minimum stint required for a player on the injured list. "Now that the news comes out that it's a flexor strain, everybody's like, 'oh it could've been a lot worse.' No it couldn't have," sports injury expert Will Carroll said Monday on Foul Territory. "This is worse than a UCL tear," Carroll continued. "For a hitter ... Bryce Harper ruptured his UCL, continued hitting, took the team to the playoffs, had surgery after the season, barely missed any time. ... For Judge, a flexor tendon — which is what you need to rotate the bat, maintain grip, to make those fine adjustments you have to make — this is everything." Carroll suggested Judge might not return until September. More news: Yankees Make Trade, Acquire All-Star Third Baseman "This doesn't heal quickly," he said. "This small little (flexor) tendon, which overlaps with the UCL, often takes a month or even more to heal up." Regardless of how long the Yankees will be without Judge, Martino believes the injury might already have affected the front office's approach to the trade deadline. "The Yankees probably played themselves out of the front office viewing them as, like, all-in, aggressive, trade-your-top-prospects kind of year to, like, more measured buyers," he said.
