The 2026 MLB regular season is nearing its climax, with many teams still in the hunt for a postseason spot. Several teams made high-profile additions at this year’s trade deadline to strengthen their chances of securing a postseason spot.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs were among the most active teams at this year’s trade deadline.
The Dodgers acquired two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal in a blockbuster trade from the Detroit Tigers. However, there were several other trades that moved the needle for contending teams this season.
