MLB Sets 2020 Trade Deadline, Postseason Eligibility Deadline

As teams are in full swing of team workouts during Summer Camp, Major League Baseball highlighted some key dates for the 2020 regular season.

The trade deadline will fall on Aug. 31 this year, and the postseason eligibility deadline is set for Sept. 15.

Under normal circumstances, the trade deadline would have taken place on July 31. But the shortened 60-game schedule has made such a date impractical this year, leading MLB to push it back a month.

Teams will have roughly five weeks from Opening Day to make potential tweaks to their roster. The Dodgers completed two minor trades prior to the deadline last year, bolstering their depth with the additions of Jedd Gyorko and Adam Kolarek.
