The Cincinnati Reds came out of the All-Star break, won two games and were just 1 1/2 games behind the final wild-card position

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is just 10 days away. The Cincinnati Reds are currently 2 1/2 games out of a Wild Card spot. Reds General Manager Brad Meador recently discussed the team's plan to approach the trade deadline for 2025.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline season is in full bloom with just 10 days remaining until that July 31 cutoff.

Here is the latest intel I’ve received in conversations with front office executives from all 30 teams and others in the game.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is at 6 p.m. ET on July 31. For years, the deadline would come on July 31 at 4 p.m. ET, but that has changed. Proposed trades must be submitted to the league office before that 6 p.m. deadline or they will not be allowed.

The Yankees can’t say they’re interested in trading for the Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez — that would be tampering — but manager Aaron Boone admitted he’s paying attention a scorching-hot right-handed slugger who led the National League with 35 homers and 85 RBIs through Sunday.

The Cincinnati Reds have reportedly been eyeing a trade for Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. for months. Could they finally pull the trigger?

All told, 16 teams — or more than half the league — own at least a 20 percent chance of making the postseason. This time last year, eventual playoff teams had odds of 43.9 percent (Mets), 39.5 percent (Padres) and 7.6 percent (Tigers). The Twins were at 82.7 percent. Sorry to remind you, Minnesota.
