trade deadline is at 4pm (est)

didn't MLB scratch the August waiver trade this year? (or am I off?)

I thought there would have been a plethora of moves today and wheeling and dealing this year.

I expected some chaos like the NBA trade deadline usually is from teams trying to position their squads for a postseason run and others dumping contracts and picking up prospects if they're in rebuild mode

been rather underwhelming so far -

Two non-contending teams (Mets and Reds) have made the two "biggest" acquisitions in Stroman and Bauer, although the Indians got some nice pieces in return, including Franmil Reyes who slots in perfectly as a slugging DH who can spot-start in the OF although he's not a great defender.

Syndergaard is off the market but I still expect the Mets to pull off a Wheeler trade to the Astros. We'll see though.
