NEW YORK(AP) — Teams will have a few extra days this summer to acquire players for playoff runs and to shed payroll.
Major League Baseball set Aug 3. at 6 p.m. EDT as the trade deadline on Tuesday.
MLB avoided having the trade deadline on weekends in recent years, and this year’s falls on a Monday.
Last year’s deadline was July 31, while it was July 30 in 2024 and 2021, and Aug. 1 in 2023 and 2022.
