The MLB trade deadline is heating up, and we’re breaking down all the biggest moves and rumors in Episode 19 of Toast Sports Baseball. We react to the trades that have already gone down—Josh Naylor to the Mariners, Ryan McMahon to the Yankees, Gregory Soto to the Mets—and whether they actually move the needle for their new teams.

We also dive into the top names still on the market like Eugenio Suárez, Joe Ryan, Sandy Alcántara, Zac Gallen, Jhoan Duran, and Jarren Duran, and debate which teams need to make a splash the most. Plus, we touch on the Dodgers’ and Astros’ deadline strategies, the future of the Oakland A’s as they prepare for their move to Las Vegas, and what kind of trade value flamethrower Mason Miller could bring.

To wrap it up, we check in on the latest standings, injuries, and fantasy baseball storylines, highlight players who are red-hot (and those who are struggling), and preview the weekend’s biggest matchups.
