This will be our fourth Trade Deadline season where we tracked each move, or even strong rumors, during the day. This will be published early then updated throughout the day with the latest news at the top. To get you started we have an article at Dodgers 2080 about the downside of the Trade Deadline. As we’ve done in the past, we’ll work from the bottom up. The newest news will be at the top. The deadline is at 1:00 PM but we know that the trade trickle in until about 2:00 PM.

Summary of 2021 Trade Deadline Day

The Dodgers won the Trade Deadline. Now, they need to win more games. The Giants, ahead of the Dodgers by three games as of this writing improved with the acquisition of Kris Bryant. The Padres got Adam Frazier and Daniel Hudson to improve themselves. The National League West will be an amazing battle.

— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) July 30, 2021

Summary From Trade Deadline Eve

• Outfielder Joey Gallo trade to the Yankees was finalized
• Reliever Ryan Tepera was traded from the Cubs to the White Sox
• Cleveland sent second baseman Cesar Hernandez to the White Sox
• Reliever Brad Hand went from the National to the Blue Jays
• Then there was this

BREAKING: Padres close to acquiring Max Scherzer, sources tell @TheAthletic.

— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 29, 2021

• The Dodgers traded for injured left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy. He’s had a nice season and will be ready to go in three to four weeks. For more details see our article here.
• The Yankees picked up long-time Cubs’ first baseman, Anthony Rizzo.
• Relief pitcher Diego Castillo went from the Rays to the Mariners
• Then, the game-changer

BREAKING: The Dodgers are finalizing a deal to acquire star right-hander Max Scherzer and star shortstop Trea Turner from the Washington Nationals for a massive prospect haul, sources tell ESPN. The blockbuster of blockbusters is going to happen.

— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 30, 2021

• Please check out more details in our article. The Dodgers getting Max Scherzer and Trea Turner is a hugely impactful trade. The cost of two of our top prospects is a lot, but, it is Scherzer and Turner.
• The Nationals continued their selling by sending Kyle Schwarber to the Red Sox and Daniel Hudson to the Padres.

What an absolutely crazy day before the deadline day! What will Trade Deadline Day bring for us? You have to figure the Padres, let by AJ Preller will be ticked off about not getting Scherzer and will probably make at least three trades. The Giants have been pretty quiet but I expect them to make at least one big move. The Dodgers could still use another reliever and another bench bat and glove. Andrew Friedman is not done.

Players that have been rumored to be available and that we could see traded include Kris Bryant, Jose Berrios, Craig Kimbrel, and anyone not named Juan Soto from the Nationals. It’s going to be a fun day.
