MLB Trade Deadline 2025 Real-Time Updates: A Frenzied Final Rush of Transactions
The 2025 MLB trade deadline is fast approaching, with just a day left until the cut-off on Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. The baseball world has been buzzing with rumours and confirmed trades, and here's a rundown of some of the most significant moves and potential deals.
One of the names still lingering on the trade block is Carlos Correa, a highly sought-after infielder. Meanwhile, Eugenio Suárez, a top power hitter, has been traded to the Seattle Mariners. Suárez, who is nearing his second 40-home run season, may not be an exceptional defender at third base, but he was one of the most prominent trade candidates before his move.
Another Diamondback on the move is Merrill Kelly, a front-line starting pitcher who is an impending free agent. Zac Gallen, another key starting pitcher eligible for free agency after this season, is also rumoured to be available for trade.
Mitch Keller, a ranked starting pitcher, and Edward Cabrera, a notable pitching trade candidate, are other notable names on the trade block. The Royals' Seth Lugo and the Athletics' Leo De Vries, the highest-ranked prospect traded at this deadline, are also potential trade pieces.
De Vries, an 18-year-old with star potential, was ranked fifth on Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects. Other impactful players who could move by the deadline include the Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn, Charlie Morton, Tomoyuki Sugano, and Seranthony Domínguez, and the Diamondbacks' All-Star pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly.
In addition to these trades, the New York Mets have bolstered their bullpen, acquiring Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers. The Yankees, on the other hand, have been active, adding Austin Slater, Ryan McMahon, and Amed Rosario, as well as Steven Kwan, whose name is still being discussed in potential trades.
Lastly, Luis Robert Jr. is another name still rumoured to be available for trade. Beyond these big names, the 2025 MLB trade deadline promises to be an exciting time for baseball fans.
Carlos Correa, a highly sought-after infielder, remains on the trade block, while Eugenio Suárez, a top power hitter, was recently traded to the Seattle Mariners. In the pitching realm, Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen, both key Diamondbacks starting pitchers who are impending free agents, are also rumored to be available for trade.
