July 30: Dodgers acquire RHP Jack Flaherty from Tigers for C Thayron Liranzo and INF Trey Sweeney
The Dodgers got their starter and made one of the biggest moves of the day just minutes before the Trade Deadline, acquiring Flaherty from the Tigers. The 28-year-old right-hander is in the middle of a huge bounceback season, with a 7-5 record, 2.95 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 106 2/3 innings (11.2 K/9).

July 30: Padres acquire LHP Tanner Scott and RHP Bryan Hoeing from Marlins for LHP Robby Snelling, RHP Adam Mazur, INF Graham Pauley and INF Jay Beshears
The Padres landed arguably the biggest closer on the market in Scott. The flamethrowing lefty has 18 saves, a 1.18 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 45 2/3 innings this season and was an All-Star for the first time in his career. San Diego also adds Hoeing, who has a 2.70 ERA in 16 appearances.

July 30: Guardians acquire RHP Alex Cobb from Giants for LHP Jacob Bresnahan and player to be named
Cobb was shaping up to make his season debut Wednesday against the A’s but developed a blister on his right index finger. The right-hander has recovered from offseason surgery on his left hip, but he has yet to pitch in 2024. Cobb was a 2023 National League All-Star for the Giants, finishing the season with a 3.87 ERA in 28 starts. Bresnahan, not ranked among Cleveland’s Top 30 prospects, was recently promoted to Single-A from Rookie ball. Full story >>

July 30: Yankees acquire RHP Enyel De Los Santos and RHP Thomas Balboni Jr. from Padres for OF Brandon Lockridge
The Yankees, after acquiring Mark Leiter Jr. from the Cubs earlier Tuesday, continued to add to their bullpen by picking up De Los Santos from San Diego. The 28-year-old, in his sixth Major League season, had a 4.46 ERA in 40 1/3 innings with the Padres. De Los Santos is under club control through 2026. New York sent Lockridge, a Triple-A outfielder, in return for De Los Santos and Minor League righty Balboni.

July 30: Padres acquire LHP Martín Pérez from Pirates for LHP Ronaldys Jimenez
After acquiring reliever Tanner Scott from the Marlins earlier on Tuesday, the Padres continued to bolster their pitching staff by trading for left-handed starter Martín Pérez from the Pirates, first reported by Francys Romero. The Pirates received left-handed pitching prospect Ronaldys Jimenez in return.
Pérez, who is 33, spent the majority of his career with the Rangers before signing a one-year contract with the Pirates during the offseason. His best individual season came in 2022, when he finished with a 2.89 ERA and was an AL All-Star, and he was also a part of last year’s World Series champion squad. This season, he has a 5.20 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 16 starts, but the Padres will be hoping he can return to his previous form as they look to hold off several teams -- including the Pirates -- in a very competitive NL Wild Card race.
Jimenez, 18 years old, has spent this season playing Rookie ball in the Dominican Summer League, with two hits and one run allowed in six innings.

July 30: Red Sox acquire RHP Luis García from Angels for four prospects
Just before the Deadline hit on Tuesday, the Red Sox made a splash by trading for right-handed reliever Luis García from the Angels, first reported by Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The Angels’ return includes prospects Ryan Zeferjahn, Matthew Lugo, Yeferson Vargas and Niko Kavadas.
García, who is 37 and on a one-year contract, has had a strong season as a middle reliever for the Angels in his second stint with the team. In 45 appearances, he is 5-1 with a 3.71 ERA and 3.68 FIP, along with four saves. For the Red Sox, who entered play on Tuesday only one game behind the Royals for the final AL Wild Card spot, García should be a welcome addition to the bullpen, especially given that setup man Justin Slaten is on the IL with an elbow injury.
-- Cole Jacobson
July 30: Orioles acquire LHP Gregory Soto from Phillies for RHP Seth Johnson and RHP Moisés Chace
The Orioles made another trade for a member of the Phillies’ bullpen, adding the lefty Soto in a last-minute Deadline deal. Soto, a big trade acquisition for Philadelphia in the 2022-23 offseason, has a 4.08 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings this season. The Phillies got Johnson, the Orioles’ No. 8 prospect (currently at Double-A), and Chace in return.
-- Theo DeRosa
July 30: Dodgers acquire CF Kevin Kiermaier from Blue Jays for LHP Ryan Yarbrough
Kiermaier, a 12-year veteran, recently said he plans to retire after the 2024 season. Now he’ll have a shot to go out with a ring in Los Angeles after getting swapped for Yarbrough, whom the Dodgers recently designated for assignment. A four-time Gold Glove Award winner, most recently in 2023, Kiemaier is far and away the career leader among outfielders (since 2016) in Statcast’s Outs Above Average metric (plus-93), including plus-10 this year. That gives Kiermaier a chance to make an impact in L.A. despite his .546 OPS.
-- Andrew Simon
July 30: Giants acquire 1B/OF Mark Canha from Tigers for RHP Eric Silva
San Francisco picked up Canha, a Bay Area native and longtime Oakland A, a day after dealing Jorge Soler to the Braves.

-- Theo DeRosa
July 30: Orioles acquire OF Austin Slater and INF Livan Soto from Reds for player to be named later or cash
Slater, who was traded by the Giants to the Reds on July 7, was on the move again as the Orioles added yet another veteran outfielder. In 51 games between Cincinnati and San Francisco, Slater has hit .185/.308/.222. Full story >>

July 30: Phillies acquire LHP Tanner Banks from White Sox for SS/2B William Bergolla

The lefty has a 4.13 ERA, 55 strikeouts and two saves in 48 innings. The 32-year-old is under contract through 2028. Bergolla, whom the White Sox received in return, was Philadelphia’s No. 11 prospect. Full story >>

He won’t be eligible for arbitration until 2026 and represents the fourth reliever the Mets have acquired prior to the Deadline, joining Phil Maton, Ryne Stanek and Tyler Zuber.

-- Theo DeRosa
July 30: Pirates acquire INF Isiah Kiner-Falefa from Blue Jays for 3B Charles McAdoo
One of several acquisitions the Pirates made prior to the Deadline, the versatile Kiner-Falefa could be an option to take over as Pittsburgh’s regular second baseman once he returns from the IL (left knee sprain).

July 30: Royals acquire SS Paul DeJong from White Sox for RHP Jarold Rosado

The veteran shortstop is batting .228 with 18 home runs and a .706 OPS in 102 games this season. Kansas City already has Bobby Witt Jr. at shortstop, of course, but DeJong could fill in at second base, third base or DH. Full story >>

The 27-year-old has dealt with a myriad of injuries during his career and owns a 5.21 ERA over 93 appearances (five starts), but he’s a former highly touted prospect who will now have a chance at a fresh start elsewhere.

In return, the Mariners acquired 24-year-old Minor League outfielder Thomas, who was the Mets' No. 30-ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. Full story >>

July 26: Orioles acquire RHP Zach Eflin and cash from Rays for INF Mac Horvath, RHP Jackson Baumeister and OF Matthew Etzel
With three starting pitchers out for the year -- Kyle Bradish, John Means and Tyler Wells -- the Orioles struck a deal with an in-division foe to bolster their rotation. Eflin has a 4.09 ERA in 19 starts for Tampa Bay this season and is under contract through 2025. The right-hander finished sixth in American League Cy Young Award voting last season. In return, the Rays landed a pair of Orioles top 30 prospects in Horvath (team No. 10) and Baumeister (No. 17), both of whom are currently at the High-A level. Etzel started the 2024 season at High-A before being promoted to Double-A Bowie. Full story >>

July 26: Mariners acquire RHP Yimi García from Blue Jays for OF Jonatan Clase and C Jacob Sharp
García has been a lights-out arm in the back of the bullpen for Toronto and is a strong addition to a Mariners pitching staff with an MLB-best 3.41 ERA. Seattle has been without pitcher Matt Brash all season, and closer Andrés Muñoz has pitched through injury. The Mariners continue to be aggressive after landing Randy Arozarena in a deal with the Rays on Thursday night. On the other side of things, Toronto added Clase, the Mariners’ No. 10 prospect, who made his Major League debut this season. The Blue Jays also received Sharp, a 22-year-old catcher currently hitting .255 with six home runs and a .773 OPS in Single-A. Full story >>

July 26: Orioles acquire RHP Seranthony Domínguez and OF Cristian Pache from Phillies for OF Austin Hays
A pair of contenders made an interesting deal Friday. The American League East-leading Orioles added bullpen depth with Domínguez, who has a 4.75 ERA in 36 innings this season. The hard-throwing 29-year-old right-hander, who owns a 3.55 career ERA, will be a free agent after 2024. Baltimore also acquired Pache, a former top prospect for the Braves who is hitting .202/.288/.269 in 118 plate appearances this season. The Phillies filled a considerable need with Hays, an outfielder who can hit left-handed pitching. Hays has a .328/.394/.500 slash line against lefties in 2024 and is hitting .255 with three homers and a .711 OPS overall. Full story >>

July 26: Red Sox acquire LHP James Paxton from Dodgers for INF Moises Bolivar
With Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw back in the fold, the Dodgers moved on from Paxton, who was designated for assignment on Monday. The left-hander had been a serviceable rotation option for L.A. with a 4.43 ERA in 18 starts, although Paxton's strikeouts were down and he is tied for the National League lead in walks. The Red Sox were willing to reunite with the southpaw starter, who spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with Boston but saw limited action because of a long recovery from Tommy John surgery. In return, the Dodgers got back Bolivar, whom the Red Sox signed as an international free agent on Jan. 15. The 17-year-old Venezuelan shortstop posted a .270/.363/.427 slash line with three homers and 19 RBIs in 31 games for Boston's Rookie League affiliate. Full story >>

July 26: Mariners acquire OF Randy Arozarena from Rays for OF Aidan Smith, RHP Brody Hopkins and player to be named later
It's no secret that the Mariners are looking for help on offense, given that they finished play on Thursday ranked first in MLB in runs allowed per game but only 28th in runs scored per game. By acquiring Arozarena, they've taken a clear step to address that hole. Arozarena was the 2021 AL Rookie of the Year and a 2023 All-Star, but the 29-year-old has struggled this season, holding a career-low .211 batting average. But after a slow start, Arozarena has turned it up since June 15, delivering an OPS of .947 with seven homers. For the Mariners, who are one game behind the Astros in the AL West race as of the end of play on Thursday, this will provide especially useful outfield depth following an ankle injury to Julio Rodríguez. On the other side of the deal, the Rays are receiving MLB Pipeline's No. 12 (Smith) and No. 22 (Hopkins) prospects in the Mariners' system, along with another player to be named later. Full story >>

July 25: D-backs acquire LHP A.J. Puk from Marlins for 1B/3B Deyvison De Los Santos and OF Andrew Pintar
The D-backs addressed their need for another left-handed reliever -- Joe Mantiply had been Arizona's only southpaw out of the bullpen -- by adding Puk, a former top prospect who has a 4.30 ERA over 44 innings this season. The 29-year-old began the season in Miami's rotation but struggled to a 9.22 ERA. He made some changes to his repertoire and has been very good since then out of the bullpen, posting a 2.08 ERA in 28 appearances. De Los Santos was Arizona's No. 14 prospect and Pintar was ranked No. 30 in the D-backs' system. Full story >>

July 21: Brewers acquire LHP Tyler Jay from Mets for RHP TJ Shook
Initially selected by the Twins with the sixth overall Draft pick in 2015, Jay made his MLB debut with the Mets earlier this season and allowed four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings. In exchange for Jay, the Mets get back Shook, a 26-year-old righty with a lifetime 4.77 ERA in the Minors.

July 21: Giants acquire RHP Mike Baumann from Mariners for cash considerations
Baumann began this season with the Orioles but has now been dealt twice since late May. The righty has a 4.57 ERA over 112 career appearances in MLB.
July 15: Twins acquire INF Rylan Bannon from Mets for unknown compensation
An eighth-round Draft pick by the Dodgers in 2017, Bannon has played seven games at the MLB level for the Orioles, Braves and Astros. He hit .254 with 15 homers and an .866 OPS over 79 games for the Mets' Triple-A affiliate this season before being dealt to Minnesota.

July 13: Royals acquire RHP Hunter Harvey from Nationals for INF Cayden Wallace and Draft pick
The Royals, just a game back of an AL Wild Card spot, add an extra arm to their shaky bullpen, against which opponents have hit .257 in 2024, the second-worst mark in baseball behind the Rockies. The hard-throwing Harvey brings with him a 4.20 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 45 innings pitched. The Nationals received Wallace, ranked the Royals' No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline, along with the 39th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. Full story >>

July 9: Mets acquire RHP Phil Maton from Rays for player to be named later or cash
The Mets, whose relievers had given up 24 runs in 22 innings in July entering Tuesday's game, add Maton, who had a strong 2023 season in Houston but has struggled somewhat to find his footing in Tampa this season (4.58 ERA, 1.33 WHIP). The 31-year-old could aid in filling the gap left recently by the injury to right-hander Drew Smith, who is likely to require season-ending Tommy John surgery. Full story >>

July 8: Reds acquire OF Austin Slater and cash from Giants for LHP Alex Young
Missing a number of position players due to injuries, the Reds swung a deal for Slater, a 31-year-old right-handed hitter with a lifetime .254/.344/.391 slash. In exchange for the outfielder, the Giants get back Young, who briefly pitched for San Francisco in 2022 before being non-tendered that November. The 30-year-old left-hander has posted a 4.40 ERA over 264 career innings for the D-backs, Guardians, Giants and Reds. Full story >>

July 6: Red Sox acquire RHP Trey Wingenter from Tigers for RHP CJ Weins
Wingenter owns a 5.82 ERA over 90 appearances in MLB for the Padres and Tigers, though he has struck out 53 batters in 35 2/3 innings for Triple-A Toledo in 2024. Weins was a sixth-round Draft pick by the Red Sox in 2023.

July 3: Brewers acquire RHP Aaron Civale from Rays for SS Gregory Barrios
This move is primarily about the NL Central-leading Brewers being desperate to reinforce their injury-depleted rotation, which also recently added veteran Dallas Keuchel from the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate. The 29-year-old Civale got off to a terrific start for Cleveland last season, but since being traded to Tampa Bay just before the 2023 Deadline for first base prospect Kyle Manzardo, he had posted a 5.17 ERA over 27 starts for the Rays. Tampa Bay, which has its own rotation reinforcements nearing returns from the IL (Shane Baz, Jeffrey Springs), lands the 20-year-old Barrios, who is now ranked as the organization's No. 19 prospect by MLB Pipeline.
