MLB trade rumors: 17 players who could be dealt by the 2025 deadline
We're 10 days away from the 2025 MLB trade deadline, so it's a good time to run through some of the big names available, along with the players who could be X-factors down the stretch for teams who deal for them. It's a thrilling time, as always!
So let's run through a bunch of the noteworthy names reportedly available in MLB trade rumors:
3B Eugenio Suarez, Arizona Diamondbacks
The, er, diamond of the deadline. He's a proven power hitter who's also leading the majors with 85 RBI as of publishing this. Any team in need of an upgrade to their lineups (hello, Yankees and Mets and pretty much everyone else) would love to have the third baseman.
SP Zac Gallen, Arizona Diamondbacks
He's lost the stuff that made him an ace-level starter, but that could just mean a change of scenery could do him right.
SP Merrill Kelly, Arizona Diamondbacks
Your standard aging starter who can be a perfect back-end SP on a possible World Series team. A no-brainer to trade for.
LHP Tyler Anderson, Los Angeles Angels
Similar to Kelly above!
OF Luis Robert Jr., Chicago White Sox
He's got speed, he's got power, and on the right team, he could re-discover what made him an All-Star in 2023.
1B Josh Bell, Washington Nationals
He can still hit one over the wall on occasion!
IF Ryan McMahon, Colorado Rockies
A consistent 20-HR guy as your infielder. That's a good pitch, isn't it?
SP Sandy Alcantara, Miami Marlins
It's rough news for the Marlins, who hoped he'd rebound from Tommy John to be the top-end guy he once was. Nope. But he could still get a decent return.
OF Cedric Mullins, Baltimore Orioles
The O's are bad, so it's a time to sell off what they can. Sending away Mullins and his all-around toolbox is a good idea.
1B/OF Ryan O'Hearn, Baltimore Orioles
A lefty bat with some pop. Not bad!
SP Erick Fedde, St. Louis Cardinals
A veteran who has flashes of good stuff could be a solid, low-priced addition.
SP Luis Severino, Athletics
He doesn't seem happy with the franchise and he hasn't pitched like he did for the Mets in 2024. Still, maybe he improves with a new zip code.
RP Kyle Finnegan, Washington Nationals
Here's your closer for reliever-starved teams.
SP Mitch Keller, Pittsburgh Pirates
Another possible starting pitcher who could solidify a rotation.
OF Bryan Reynolds, Pittsburgh Pirates
If the franchise decides to sell it all, the outfielder who's had 84-plus RBI three times in his career is a good buy.
DH Marcell Ozuna, Atlanta Braves
Hmm. If the Braves continue to be bad over the next week, do they deal the slugger?
OF Taylor Ward, Los Angeles Angels
He could be on his way to career high in dingers and RBI. Now's the time to sell high!

Braves' Austin Riley returns to IL with lower abdominal strain
Another stint on the injured list seemed inevitable for Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley after he left Sunday's MLB Speedway Classic with lower abdominal pain. That was confirmed with the team announcing that Riley is back on the IL with a strained lower abdominal muscle. Riley sustained the injury during the first inning while stretching to tag out Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz at home plate. He stayed on his knees after the play, indicating that he hurt himself and left the game. The third baseman recently returned from the IL on July 25 to recover from a lower abdominal strain, so it's possible that he re-aggravated that injury while tagging out De La Cruz. Playing 102 games this season, Riley is batting .260/.309/.428 with 16 home runs, 20 doubles and 54 RBI in 447 plate appearances. To replace him on the active roster and at third base, the Braves called up Nacho Alvarez Jr. from Triple-A Gwinnett. In an earlier stint with Atlanta, Alvarez hit .200/.250/.233 in eight games. Atlanta also demoted outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A for the second time this season. Kelenic, 26, has spent most of this season in the minors, batting .218/.289/.321 with four home runs and 23 RBI with Gwinnett. With the Braves, he hit .161/.231/.300 in 65 plate appearances. The Braves are fourth in the NL East going into Monday's play at 47-63, 15.5 games behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies. Losing seven of its past 10 games, Atlanta is also 14 games from the NL's third wild-card playoff berth.

Ravens made a slew of roster moves, including adding two tight ends and waiving a kicker
Baltimore signed two tight ends and added Brent Urban among eight roster moves made by the Ravens on Saturday afternoon Baltimore announced eight total roster moves on Saturday and Sunday, with the shocker being the release of undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland. In all, the Ravens signed Brent Urban, Scotty Washington, and Baylor Cupp, while releasing Hoyland, tight end Sam Pitz, and linebacker Diwun Black. Signed Brent Urban Selected by Baltimore in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft, Urban will enter Year 12 in the league looking to help bolster one of the league's top defensive line groups. Urban played in 13 games last season and made 20 tackles. He helped the Ravens rank as the NFL's top run defense. Signed TE Scotty Washington A big, physical tight end, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Washington was on Baltimore's practice squad the last two years and will return with Isaiah Likely rehabbing a surgically repaired foot. Signed TE Baylor Cupp The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Cupp is a former top recruit who played collegiately at Texas A&M and Texas Tech and spent last year on the Chiefs' practice squad. Waived K John Hoyland Hoyland had been part of a two-man competition with Tyler Loop to replace Justin Tucker as Baltimore's kicker, but he appears to have lost out to the sixth-round pick from Arizona. Waived TE Sam Pitz The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Minnesota Duluth product caught 71 balls for 940 yards and 17 touchdowns during a four-year college career, including a 33-360-2 line in 11 games last year. Waived LB Diwun Black Black (6-3, 246) logged 23 tackles (19 solo), including six tackles for loss, three sacks, and two forced fumbles during his lone season at Temple. Signed free agent RB D'Ernest Johnson Johnson spent his first four seasons in Cleveland and the last two years in Jacksonville. He has 214 career carries for 989 yards and three touchdowns. He'll join Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali on the Ravens' depth chart. Waived T Ozzie Hutchinson Hutchinson (6-4, 305) signed with Baltimore following the 2025 NFL draft after he appeared in 41 games during his stint at Albany (2019-23), earning second-team All-CAA honors in his final season.
