The amount of teams hovering near contention will make for a slow-developing market, multiple executives said.

Whether it’s a contender hunting for the final piece of a championship puzzle, a bubble team trying to stay in the race or a rebuilding club looking to stock up for the future, every team has its share of needs to address prior to the Trade Deadline.

As the Yankees are expected to be buyers, one team potentially looking to sell at the deadline would make an excellent trade partner for New York. Multiple MLB insiders, including ESPN's Jeff Passan, MLB Network's Jon Morosi and MLB.com's Bryan Hoch have linked the Yankees with a potential swoop for a pair of Arizona Diamondbacks standouts.

The New York Mets fell just short of the World Series last season and could be aggressive at the trade deadline this year to ensure it does not happen again.

Brian Cashman and David Stearns are on the clock. The lead baseball executives of the Yankees and Mets, respectively, have a lot of work to do as we inch closer to the July 31 trade deadline. Both men owe it to their teams and fan bases to go all-in in the weeks to come.

The Atlanta Braves have reportedly decided what they will do with the 2024 NL Cy Young award winner at the 2025 MLB trade deadline.

The New York Yankees have a variety of needs at the trade deadline this year, and insider Jeff Passan sees this third baseman as their best match.

The Atlanta Braves aren't planning to shock baseball ahead of the MLB trade deadline. According to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Braves don't plan to trade anyone who they have under contract beyond this season. That removes the craziest name floated in trade speculation of late: Ronald Acuña Jr.
