MLB trade deadline

As the MLB trade deadline approaches on Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET, the demand for starting pitchers significantly exceeds supply, with at least 10 teams, including the Yankees, Orioles, and Red Sox, actively seeking help. The trade landscape is bustling, with the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays making substantial moves, while the Yankees have acquired Jazz Chisholm to bolster their lineup. The competitive nature of this season sees only a few teams falling out of playoff contention, making it challenging for teams to decide whether to buy or sell. The Philadelphia Phillies have also been active, securing Carlos Estévez and looking to strengthen their bullpen further. Meanwhile, the Pirates have their eyes on outfielders like Taylor Ward and Tommy Pham as they strive to enhance their roster for a postseason push. Overall, with 23 teams still in contention, the upcoming trades are poised to reshape the playoff race significantly.
