With the 2020 Major League Baseball season delayed and shortened, the trade deadline for the Colorado Rockies and the other 29 teams has reportedly been adjusted as well.

According to a tweet from MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo and others, the MLB trade deadline for the 2020 season will be set for Monday, August 31. With the season expected to begin near the end of July, the new trade deadline would be roughly halfway through what has been announced as a 60-game season that is expected to come to a conclusion before the end of September.
