Overview

  • San Diego traded top shortstop prospect Leo De Vries plus three pitching prospects to Oakland for All-Star closer Mason Miller and left-handed starter JP Sears.
  • The Padres later sent six prospects to Baltimore to acquire power hitters Ryan O’Hearn and Ramón Laureano, completing a deadline spree that moved 14 players to add eight major leaguers.
  • Toronto boosted its rotation by acquiring Cy Young winner Shane Bieber from Cleveland after his recovery from Tommy John surgery.
  • Detroit addressed late-inning needs by trading for All-Star closer Kyle Finnegan from Washington before the 6 p.m. non-waiver deadline.
  • With the non-waiver deadline passed, contenders are now turning their focus to the final weeks of the regular season and positioning for October playoff races.
