With Major League Baseball's trade deadline now behind us, the next big transactional window is the free agency period that will begin five days after the 2025 World Series ends.

What the 2025 Major League Baseball trade deadline lacked in blockbusters it made up for in volume. From the first deal on July 24 to the last at 5:59 p.m. ET on July 31, teams made 63 trades and exchanged 179 players (including those to be named later).

Speaking of strange deadlines, the Braves are 15.5 games back in the division and 14 games back of a wild-card spot. It has been a miserable year in Atlanta. Yet they did nothing to improve their future, holding onto Marcell Ozuna and Raisel Iglesias despite both becoming free agents at the end of the year.
