The 2025 MLB trade deadline saw a flurry of activity. Teams received varying grades based on their acquisitions. The San Diego Padres earned an A+ for aggressive moves, adding several key players. The Seattle Mariners received an A for bolstering their offense, while the New York Mets earned an A- for bullpen upgrades. Other teams, such as the Baltimore Orioles (F) and Cleveland Guardians (F), received low grades for their inactivity or questionable decisions. Many teams focused on filling depth needs rather than making headline-grabbing trades.
