MLB Trade Deadline 2026 Live Updates, Tracking Latest News, Rumors and Deals

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of the 2026 MLB trade deadline. Come 6:00 p.m. ET, the summer trading season will end and it will be onto October.

With Tarik Skubal having been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the biggest piece that had been on the board is already spoken for. The game for the other contenders around MLB is to now play catch-up with the two-time defending World Series champions.

At the start of the day, potentially available players still include ace closer Mason Miller, catcher Adley Rutschman, second baseman Luis Arraez and a veritable boatload of starting pitchers.

Keep it here for live updates on the latest rumors, deals and more, presented in order from newest to oldest.

In case anyone missed anything, here are the trades that went down over the weekend.

Saturday, August 1

• Milwaukee Brewers get C Bo Naylor, RHP Codi Heuer; Cleveland Guardians get RHP Craig Yoho, OF Blake Perkins
• Pittsburgh Pirates get RHP Camilo Doval; New York Yankees get C Omar Alfonzo, OF Luis Cruz
• Atlanta Braves get OF Lane Thomas, LHP Bailey Falter; Kansas City Royals get RHP Lucas Braun, LHP Carter Holton
• Chicago White Sox get RHP Luis Castillo; Seattle Mariners get RHP Seranthony Domínguez, OF Nolan Jones, C Boston Smith
• Los Angeles Dodgers get LHP Tarik Skubal; Detroit Tigers get OF Zyhir Hope, RHP River Ryan, RHP Brady Smith

The rich got richer when the Dodgers traded for Skubal, while everyone else is worse off in some way. That arguably includes the Tigers, whose return for the two-time Cy Young Award winner feels light.

The most puzzling deal was the White Sox's trade for Castillo. He'll be a workhorse starter for them, but they took on his entire remaining contract (about $30 million) and sent players and money to Seattle. For the record, Castillo's rWAR is at -0.7 for the season.

Sunday, August 2

• Toronto Blue Jays get RHP Jameson Taillon, cash considerations; Chicago Cubs get player to be named later or cash considerations
• Tampa Bay Rays get RHP Freddy Peralta; New York Mets get OF Aidan Smith, RHP Gary Gill Hill, 2B Émilien Pitre
• New York Yankees get 1B Luis García Jr.; Washington Nationals get RHP Yovanny Cruz, RHP Jake Bird, RHP Jack Cebert, RHP Ben Grable
• Chicago Cubs get RHP Kevin Gausman; Toronto Blue Jays get OF Brett Bateman, INF Ty Southisene
• Atlanta Braves get RHP Tyler Mahle; San Francisco Giants get RHP Anthony Molina
• Chicago White Sox get RHP Huascar Brazobán; New York Mets get RHP Gabe Davis, RHP Zach Franklin

After missing out on Skubal, the task before the Rays is to turn Peralta back into his two-time All-Star self. If that happens, they stand to further solidify themselves as American League favorites.

The Yankees stated their intent to come after the Rays with their deal for García. He's bringing 23 home runs to an offense that leads the AL in home runs even without any from Aaron Judge since May.
