By this time Wednesday, it will all be over. This is the last call for trades. Teams have until Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET deadline to make their moves. Contenders are scrambling to improve their rosters for a playoff run, and trying not to sell off their future in the process. Rebuilders are looking to milk every last drop from their trade partners, hoping to get the best possible prospect package back to expedite their return to relevance.
It’s going to be an eventful day, even if Juan Soto, the best player available this season—perhaps ever—doesn’t get traded. Here are some things to keep in mind before things get underway.
