The 2026 MLB trade deadline, set for Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET, is approaching with many contenders looking to bolster their rosters. However, the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and the high number of teams still in playoff contention may limit trading activity. World Series champion Joe Girardi expects sellers to control the market, with teams like the Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets, and San Francisco Giants among those likely to trade players. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Tampa Bay Rays are interested in Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, while San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller could also be on the move.
