There have been some trades made this past week in advance of this year’s MLB trade deadline, which is Tuesday, August 2 at 5 p.m. CT. The Cubs made a deal Saturday, and are likely to make more.
Incidentally, the new MLB/MLBPA collective bargaining agreement allows the Commissioner’s office, going forward, to schedule the deadline for any particular year on any date between July 30 and August 3. This was done, most likely, so that the deadline could be placed on a day when there will be few, or possibly, no games. That will allow teams to focus on trades on deadline day without worrying about having to transport players to road games, only to then have them traded and leave, as happened to Kris Bryant last year:
