The 2025 MLB trade deadline is underway, with Padres GM A.J. Preller potentially making multiple blockbuster deals. Starting pitchers like Zac Gallen and Sandy Alcantara are in high demand, while the bullpen market is equally active, involving teams like the Yankees, Blue Jays, and Mariners. The Orioles, Pirates, and Marlins are among the busy sellers, and the Red Sox, Mets, and Phillies are engaged in intense competition for relievers. Despite some skepticism about deadline trades, historical data shows their significance in boosting World Series contenders.
