MLB trade deadline: Live updates, news, transactions, rumors as Royals reportedly extend Seth Lugo, Yankees add Rosario, McMahon
The 2025 MLB trade deadline is just around the corner, and some teams are already making major moves. The Arizona Diamondbacks unofficially kicked things off last week by trading first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners, and several teams added their hats to the ring over the weekend. The Yankees made two acquisitions in Ryan McMahon and Ahmed Rosario, while the Mets traded for Gregory Soto. The action should continue in the coming days as MLB's contenders scramble to add talent with the playoffs two months away. There aren't any superstars expected to be on the move in this deadline, but every contender has a hole to fill. No team is running away from the field in the standings, which means some of teams will likely need to do something to stand out. The deadline officially hits on Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. After that, the only way teams can add a player to their roster is calling up minor leaguers or signing free agents, and any player who isn't in the organization by the end of August is ineligible for the postseason. Until then, here's everything you should know about what teams are up to: Yahoo Sports' top 26 players of the MLB trade deadline Each contender's biggest need, including the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen All 30 MLB teams classified, from all-in buyers to all-out sellers Six trades Yahoo Sports wants to see MLB Pipeline's list of top 100 prospects Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from the 2025 MLB trade deadline:

Yankees Manager Aaron Boone Blamed For Aaron Judge IL Stint
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. In the middle of what has been one of the greatest seasons ever put together by any hitter, and certainly by a right-handed hitter, New York Yankees two-time MVP Aaron Judge was sidelined with an injured flexor in his right elbow. Now, some Yankee-watchers are blaming manager Aaron Boone, at least in part, for Judge's injury — an injury that were it to become worse would threaten the Bronx Bombers' playoff hopes this season, and possibly next season as well. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MAY 14: Manager Aaron Boone #17 and Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees look on during the third inning Mariners at T-Mobile Park on May 14, 2025 in Seattle, Washington.... SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MAY 14: Manager Aaron Boone #17 and Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees look on during the third inning Mariners at T-Mobile Park on May 14, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. MoreJudge first felt the injury to his right elbow when he made a throw from right field in a game last Tuesday in Toronto. Despite the discomfort in his throwing elbow, Judge played in Wednesday's game as well, knowing that the Yankees were off the following day. But the off-day came and went, and Judge was still feeling the elbow injury. Boone inserted his top slugger into Friday's lineup, against the Philadelphia Phillies at Yankees Stadium anyway. "Boone essentially enabled an injured Judge to stay in Friday's game," wrote Fansided Yankees scribe Wynston Wilcox on Sunday. "He knew Judge wasn't going to be able to throw hard and he knew it would be a liability. What he didn't take into account is if the injury would be detrimental to the season." Judge himself lobbied to play in the game, according to Pinstripes Nation writer Esteban Quiñones, even though he was unable to make throws longer than about 60 feet. "Manager Boone allowed Judge to remain in the lineup because he believed Judge wouldn't risk further injury," Quiñones reported. Strains of the flexor, a muscle group that supports the elbow's ulnar collateral ligament, if not healed properly can lead to tears in the UCL, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. The remedy for UCL tears is Tommy John surgery, which would end Judge's season and probably cost him a sizable portion of next season as well. When the Phillies' eight-time All-Star Bryce Harper underwent Tommy John surgery on Nov. 23, 2022, he was able to rejoin the Philadelphia lineup 160 days later, on May 2, 2023. But that set a record for the speediest recovery from Tommy John ever, by any MLB player. Harper was 30 years old at the time. Judge is now 33.

Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman day-to-day with back tightness
Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman had to leave Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers with a back injury, but Boston appears to have avoided a massive hit to its bullpen. Chapman may have to take a quick break, but Boston manager Alex Cora doesn't expect to lose his All-Star closer to the Injured List. Chapman is considered day-to-day with back tightness, Cora revealed after the team's 4-3 victory over Los Angeles. While it's great news that Chapman won't be shelved for very long, the ailment further hammers home the fact chief baseball officer Craig Breslow needs to add to Boston's pitching staff at Thursday's MLB trade deadline. With the Red Sox hanging onto a 4-3 lead, Chapman came on in the eighth inning Sunday to face the meat of the Dodgers lineup. He was very un-Chapman-like from the get-go, walking Miguel Rojas on five pitches, with ball four coming on a pitch clock violation. He struggled to find the plate against Mookie Betts too, walking him on five pitches. Chapman was able to get the dangerous Shohei Ohtani to fly out, but his velocity was clearly down and his control wasn't there. Cora and Boston's trainer went out to the mound, and after a brief chat with Chapman and catcher Carlos Narvaez, Chapman was taken out and replaced by Jordan Hicks. Chapman plead his case to stay on to face Teoscar Hernandez, but Hicks got out of the jam when Ceddanne Rafaela turned an unassisted double play. Hicks got his second save with Boston when he tossed a scoreless ninth inning to secure the victory. After the game, Chapman said through a translator he felt a little spasm in his back Saturday and he felt "a little uncomfortable" on Sunday. He hopes to return to the mound in the next couple of days. Chapman closed the door on Saturday's 4-2 win for his 18th save of the season, which has been one of the best of his 16-year career. The 37-year-old has a 1.30 ERA and 0.82 WHIP, and has fanned 61 batters in his 41.2 innings of work. Boston is reportedly looking at starting pitching options and right-handed bats ahead of Thursday's 6 p.m. trade deadline. But even though Chapman's injury doesn't appear to be anything serious, it highlights a need for more arms in the Boston bullpen as well. The Red Sox bounced back from a 2-4 road trip out of the All-Star break by taking two of three from the Dodgers over the weekend. The weekend series win keeps Boston in the second American League Wild Card spot, half-a-game up on the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers and one game behind the New York Yankees.
