W e are just under a week out from the 2025 MLB trade deadline, which is Thursday, July 31 at 6 p.m. ET. That's the day in which contenders are hoping to shore up their depth or upgrade, and teams that are rebuilding are hoping to make a deal to help get some future stars.

With the Yankees' bullpen struggling, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports the team could try to trade for the Rockies' Jake Bird. Bird has been the Rockies' best reliever this year, and since Naw York and Colorado have already completed the Ryan McMahon deal, there is familiarity between the two sides this month.

You know the major leaguers on the move -- but what about the potential stars of tomorrow headed the other way in those deals?

Vientos has been in this position before. He lost the third base battle ahead of the 2024 season and made the most out of multiple big league opportunities before finally getting his shot. Once he replaced Baty as the everyday third baseman at the end of May 2024, he quickly became the Mets’ best power hitter.

Anxiety over a potential trade could be affecting the Guardians' first baseman, who manager Stephen Vogt believes is pressing at the plate.
