Teams prepare to wheel and deal as MLB's 2025 trade deadline approaches on Thursday, July 31.
The clock is ticking and MLB teams have one more full day to make deals before the arrival of the trade deadline.
Whether it's a big bat or a bullpen arm, this year's playoff hopefuls are looking to find that missing piece that could put them over the top in the postseason. There are still several difference-makers on the market so baseball fans can expect a flurry of activity as the deadline (6 p.m. ET on Thursday) approaches.
Perhaps today is the day we see starting pitchers Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera, Merrill Kelly or Zac Gallen on the move.
Here's a look at all the news and updates from Wednesday, July 30:
Seranthony Dominguez switches dugouts in mid-doubleheader trade
It was late in the evening and Seranthony Dominguez was standing in the same dank hallway he’d strolled down hours before, when the rarest of baseball oddities – a trade consummated by two teams between games of their doubleheader – transformed him from a last-place Baltimore Oriole to a frontrunning Toronto Blue Jay.
Dominguez endured one of the longest and strangest days a ballplayer can have, but when it comes to the trading deadline, there are far worse fates than leaping four spots in the standings and sleeping in your own bed the night you’re dealt.
"It’s been kind of crazy," says Dominguez after pitching a scoreless seventh inning in his Toronto debut, a 3-2 loss to his old Baltimore teammates. "I wake up today and come to play for the Orioles and after the first game, I’m sitting there and hanging out with the guys and they call me and tell me, ‘Hey, we got you traded. Go to the next dugout.’ " – Gabe Lacques, USA TODAY
Oh, hi, nice to meet you 👋

Eugenio Suárez to Tigers? Gleyber Torres would welcome trade
The Tigers are one of many teams interested in acquiring Eugenio Suárez from the Diamondbacks before the MLB trade deadline, set for 6 p.m. Thursday, July 31. Other teams in the mix include the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners.
"If he comes here at some point, it's going to be awesome," said Torres, a former teammates of Suárez with Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. "He treats people the right way. He's easy to talk to. He always wants to help the players. It would be a really, really good addition for us."
Said Torres: "I think he's a better person than player. I have a really good relationship with him. He is a humble guy, an awesome person. I've known him for many years. Our relationship is really good."
Suárez has said he wants to play for the Tigers. The Tigers signed Suárez out of Venezuela for a $10,000 bonus during the 2008 international signing period. He made his MLB debut with the Tigers in 2014. After 85 games, the Tigers traded Suárez to the Reds. – Evan Petzold, Detroit Free Press
Brewers' Danny Jansen trade has catcher back in Wisconsin
Not so long ago, members of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers lived in the home young Danny Jansen shared with his family, just a bike ride away from Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton. In a twist of fate, it was a Timber Rattlers player sent to another organization who brought Jansen back to Wisconsin.
Jansen, 30, joined the Brewers on July 29, one day after Milwaukee consummated a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Class A infielder Jadher Areinamo. The catcher Jansen, an alumnus of Appleton West and part of a former Timber Rattlers host family, now finds himself with his fourth team in the span of a year after getting dealt on back-to-back trade deadlines.
"Definitely surprised at the news at first," said Jansen, who has served as the Rays primary catcher in 2025. "Hearing that it's for the Brewers is exciting. Obviously, the Brewers have been playing awesome baseball. Definitely being close to home where my wife and I live, as well, is exciting. Being part of an awesome clubhouse, as I've heard, and just competing with these guys." – JR Radcliffe, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
