Overview
- The New York Yankees acquired two-time All-Star closer David Bednar from Pittsburgh to bolster their late-inning depth.
- The San Diego Padres landed flamethrowing closer Mason Miller while the Toronto Blue Jays added former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber to their rotation.
- The Boston Red Sox reinforced their relief corps with veteran left-hander Steven Matz and the Houston Astros brought back shortstop Carlos Correa to fill infield holes.
- Earlier this week, the Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets made major midweek moves by adding slugger Eugenio Suárez and flamethrowers Jhoan Durán, Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers.
- With the 6 p.m. ET deadline passed, most marquee bats and bullpen arms are off the board, leaving only a handful of controllable starters and veteran bats still available.
