What is the MLB trade deadline in 2023? Going to Be Wild!

SINGING: ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year!’ Well, at least it is for any baseball fan, because this is the part of the season where some teams GO BIG, mix it up and make all our jaws drop. It is almost trade deadline time. Nevertheless, you may be wondering, What is the MLB trade deadline in 2023?

The 2023 MLB trade deadline is August 1. Which means we currently have just over 2 weeks of shifting timeframe left. Fans from every fandom are no doubt tracking every deal that is made up till this year’s deadline.

Last season, during 2022 it was the Padres that made the biggest splash out of all the baseball clubs and organizations. San Diego ended up coming to a deal with the Washington Nationals that allowed them to pick up lefty batter and OF, Juan Soto.

Moreover, around the same time period, the Southern California team also snags Brandon Drury, Josh Bell and much needed closer, Josh Hader. At first, the new selections start off hot for the Padres with Brandon Drury even hitting a Grand Slam during his first AB in a brown and gold uniform.

However, then a little struggling occurs. Hader can’t find his pitch. All the bats go cold. With a scary moment of whether the Padres would make the postseason. Therefore, did these trade deadline gambles end up paying off for San Diego?

MAJORLY. The team makes it to the playoffs and demolish two really good 100 win teams, the New York Mets as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers. Furthermore, they also make it all the way to the NLCS, narrowly missing a chance at going to the World Series.

Therefore, as one can see, the trade deadline matters. This is a time when teams can “buy or sell” in order to make their rosters stronger. Since a stronger lineup can definitely help franchises not only make the playoffs, but hopefully go deep into them.

Nonetheless, are there any guy’s names popping up right now in terms of trades? The rumor mill is a tad quiet, but it didn’t stop names like Paul Goldschmidt, Shane Bieber and Jeimer Candelario from coming up to the fore as possible trade pieces from ESPN and the like.

Yet, all eyes are currently fixed on the Los Angeles Angels. Will they trade Shohei Ohtani? Right now, there’s pure radio silence coming from the Halos camp. Which so far is leading some to assume that for the rest of the season he stays put with Trout and company. Interesting.
