2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker: Red Sox Land Rutschman

We are just over 24 hours away from the Major League Baseball trade deadline. The Mets, fully in sell mode, are expected to make a few moves before Monday’s 6 pm deadline. We will be updating this tracker as deals are made around the league.

Twins Add Hoffman

The Twins are acquiring righty Jeff Hoffman from the Blue Jays in exchange for lefty pitching prospect Dasan Hill, righty pitching prospect John Klein and infield/outfield prospect Dameury Pena. Hill (No. 7 and No. 8) and Klein (No. 17 and No. 29) are considered top-30 organizational prospects for the Twins by both MLB Pipeline and Baseball America.

Hoffman got off to a dreadful start to his season, losing the closer’s role to Louis Varland. However, he’s pitched well in the ensuing months, sporting a season ERA of 3.94 with 75 strikeouts against 18 walks in 48 innings.

Guardians Land Foster Griffin

The Nationals have traded lefty Foster Griffin to the Guardians. The 31-year-old returned to the States after three seasons in Japan and made the All-Star Game, posting a 3.06 ERA with 116 strikeouts against 30 walks in 129 1/3 innings. He will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Neither Manfredi nor Martinez is ranked in Milwaukee’s top 30 prospects on MLB Pipeline or Baseball America.

Red Sox, Giants Swap Mayer, Miller

The Red Sox and Giants are swapping infielder Marcelo Mayer and lefty reliever Erik Miller. Mayer, once touted as a top prospect in baseball, has struggled with injuries since he was drafted fourth overall in 2021.

Yankees Land Ramos From Giants

LaLane has taken a big step forward in 2026, posting a 2.77 ERA with 98 strikeouts against 26 walks in 78 innings between Single-A and High-A.

He ranks as the No. 13 prospect in the Yankees system on MLB Pipeline and No. 14 on Baseball America.

Rays Add Tyler Wells

Ballesteros got off to a hot start in 2026, but struggled in subsequent and was eventually sent down to Triple-A Iowa. McGwire, the son of former big league slugger Mark McGwire, has broken out in 2026, posting a 3.64 ERA with 72 strikeouts against 24 walks in 59 1/3 innings between Single-A and High-A. He represented the Cubs at the Futures Game.

Blue Jays and Astros Swap Varsho, Arrighetti

Heading to Baltimore are pitching prospects Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon, outfield prospect Enddy Azocar, as well as catcher Carlos Narváez and a player to be named later. This is a monstrous haul for Baltimore, as Eyanson (No. 2), Witherspoon (No. 3) and Azocar (No. 5) were all ranked in Boston’s top five prospects by Baseball America.

Rutschman is currently on the injured list with a wrist issue. He is batting .251/.331/.433 with eight homers and 19 doubles across 284 plate appearances.

deGrom Staying Put

Rays Acquire Hicks From Marlins

The Rays have acquired Liam Hicks from the Marlins in exchange for infield prospects Brayden Tayler and Adrian Santana, as well as right-handed pitching prospect Jacob Kisting.

Ward is set to hit free agency after the season and is batting .246/.383/.346 with seven homers and an AL-leading 87 walks in 506 plate appearances. None of Hoppe, Moore or Kreiling are ranked in Seattle’s top 30 prospects.

Guardians Add Adell

Mets Don’t Plan to Trade Torrens

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that many teams are looking to trade for a catcher, but Luis Torrens is expected to stay put in Queens. Torrens ranks as one of the best defensive catchers in baseball and signed a two-year contract extension earlier in the season.

The Mets did trade a catcher, though. They’ve sent minor league veteran Ben Rortvedt to the Dodgers for right-hander Chayce McDermott, per Aram Leighton of Just Baseball.

Phillies Snag Arraez, Kilian

The Phillies are acquiring three-time batting champion Luis Arraez from the Giants, as well as right-hander Caleb Kilian. In return, the Giants are receiving pitching prospects Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair.

Arraez is enjoying a major bounce-back season, batting .324/.360/.443 across 464 plate appearances while also significantly improving his defense, posting 11 OAA at second base. Kilian has been the Giants’ closer for most of the season, posting a 4.26 ERA with 53 strikeouts against 20 walks in 44 1/3 innings.

The 20-year-old Marquez is in the midst of a breakout season in the Phillies’ farm system, posting a 1.68 ERA with 93 strikeouts against 19 walks in 68 innings between Single-A and High-A.

Blue Jays Acquire Soriano

A day after trading rotation stalwart Kevin Gausman, the Blue Jays have landed right-hander Jose Soriano from the Angels. Soriano has come down to earth after his rip-roaring start to the season, but still owns a solid 3.29 ERA with 127 strikeouts in 123 innings, though he also leads the American League with 57 walks. The 27-year-old is under club control for two more seasons.

In return, the Angels will receive shortstop prospect Arjun Nimmala, outfield prospect Eddie Micheletti and right-hander Angel Rivero. Nimmala was the 20th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, and is a consensus top-50 prospect in the sport, checking at No. 39 on Baseball America and No. 43 on MLB Pipeline. The 20-year-old is currently in Double-A and is slashing .265/.364/.453 with eight homers in 264 plate appearances on the season. Micheletti has also spent the season in Double-A, hitting 14 homers with an .800 OPS, while the 18-year-old Rivero is still in rookie ball.

In return, Chicago is sending outfield prospect Brett Bateman and infield prospect Ty Southisene to Toronto. Both are ranked in Chicago’s top 30 prospects on MLB Pipeline, ranking at No. 21 and 13, respectively. Bateman has spent all of 2026 in Triple-A, batting .312/.431/.422 with three homers and 20 steals over 346 plate appearances. Southisene has split time between Single-A and High-A, batting a cumulative .311/.431/.378 in 314 plate appearances with 31 steals.
