MLB trade deadline 2025: Who's buying and selling? Top targets as rumors swirl

There will not be a single trade that remotely comes close to baseball’s version of the Luka Doncic deal.

Nobody will be traded with $100 million left on his contract, let alone the $254.5 million remaining in Devers’ deal, or nearly the star power. Juan Soto won’t be traded for the third time in three years . Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer are staying put this time.

Arizona could be the epicenter of the deadline if they sell.

The Cardinals are just 3 games out of first place in the NL Central and tied for a wild-card berth.

The Cardinals didn’t do anything in the offseason, tried to trade third baseman Nolan Arenado , asked ace Sonny Gray to waive his no-clause trade, and planned on waiting until the All-Star break to trade Ryan Helsley and starter Erick Fedde .

The Cubs are seeking another left fielder or center fielder plus bullpen reinforcements.

The Yankees are looking for a third baseman or a second baseman.

The Tigers are looking to add a strikeout pitcher in the bullpen.

The Dodgers are also looking for another outfielder with Michael Conforto's struggles.
