This time next week, trade season will be over. We’ll know if the surging Brewers added another bat, if the Yankees, Mets and Dodgers did enough to address their injury-depleted pitching staffs, and which uniform Eugenio Suárez will be wearing the rest of the season. We’ll also hopefully have a better idea of where teams stand as we enter the dog days of August and look ahead to the September pennant chases.
For many teams, the games between now and Thursday’s deadline will carry the weight of the next two months, as their performance over that stretch will shape their strategy for the rest of the season. All of this makes for a most exciting week ahead of us. As always, we’ll be covering the chaos here at FanGraphs, analyzing trades big and small for our readers.
