The 2025 MLB trade deadline is approaching with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. With significant trades like Rafael Devers moving to the San Francisco Giants already reshaping team dynamics, GMs are bracing for a quieter deadline than in years past. Only a handful of teams, such as the Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox, are expected to be sellers, while others like the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies are actively seeking to bolster their rosters.

The Chicago Cubs are eyeing pitchers like Mitch Keller and David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, who could provide valuable depth. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Angels face a critical decision on whether to trade assets like Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Anderson or make a late push for playoff contention. The Baltimore Orioles are also under scrutiny; a disappointing performance could force them to sell key players like Cedric Mullins and Charlie Morton.
