Major League Baseball's 2025 trade deadline is rapidly approaching. The deadline will pass in less than 36 hours (6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31), and that means the expectation is that a frenzied period of swapping between buyers and sellers is in the offing.

The Athletics have reportedly "focused on teams with top-end young pitching" in talks for closer Mason Miller, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, but their asking price remains high.

The starting pitching market is heating up, and the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets and New York Yankees all reportedly have their eye on a veteran starter.
