MLB Trade Deadline 2023: New Date, New Possibilities

For 2023 it is scheduled for Aug 1 at 6 pm

For many years the Deadline was always on July 31 at 4 pm. The Commissioners Office can now set the Deadline for any date. The Deadline for 2021 is at 4 pm With July 31 falling on a Saturday that includes several day games this season, the Trade Deadline was moved to August 1st. This year, the Deadline is scheduled for August 1st at 6 pm.

New Possibilities for Contenders

With the Deadline now set for August 1st, contenders have more time to make moves to improve their rosters. This is especially important for teams that are in contention for a Wild Card spot, as they can now wait to see how the standings shake out before making a move. The new Deadline also gives teams more time to scout players and make sure they are getting the right fit for their team.
