Seven things to watch on MLB trade deadline day: Will an ace get dealt?
Follow our live MLB trade deadline tracker for the latest.
Here are seven things to watch leading up to the trade deadline at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday on what will be a drama-filled day that could feature several major trades.
1. Will an ace get moved?
The Tigers have listened to inquiring teams on their American League Cy Young Award candidate, Tarik Skubal. The White Sox continue to talk with teams about their ace, Garrett Crochet. The Giants have done their due diligence on two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell. So far, none of them have been traded. It appears unlikely that any team will pay the prospect price it will take to land Skubal (but the Tigers still stand to get a strong return if they move Jack Flaherty). Crochet and his agency, CAA, diminished his trade value by saying he wouldn’t pitch in October unless he received a contract extension first, but there are still teams that would trade for him anyway. The Snell situation also will be interesting to watch. After trading Jorge Soler back to the Braves late Monday night, the Giants have a much higher chance of swapping Snell than they did yesterday.
Just remember, it takes only one owner, team president or GM to wake up on the right side of the bed this morning and decide they want to pay the exorbitant price for an ace who could make the biggest difference of any player traded at this year’s trade deadline.

2. Where will the best-available closers land?
The Marlins have been shopping their closer, Tanner Scott, for more than a month now and there are only a few hours left until they have to decide where to trade him. Three AL East teams have been in the lead to acquire Scott, with the Orioles, Yankees and Red Sox all in play and the Royals of the AL Central a dark-horse candidate, according to major-league sources. But will another team jump in at the last minute with an offer the Marlins can’t refuse? And, once Scott is traded, how long will it take for one of the teams that missed out to pivot and try to land Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan? It’s closing time.
3. Will the Twins do anything significant?
The Twins have been very quiet this trade deadline. They haven’t made a trade in the past two weeks. They are looking to add starting pitching depth but their situation is complicated: Most of their discussions have involved buyer-to-buyer type trade proposals as they can’t significantly add payroll and might have to take payroll off their roster to add it back in a trade. They need to find a solution though, because adding a veteran starter would give them a much better shot at making the playoffs.
4. Which AL East contender will get the most bullpen depth?
The Red Sox, Orioles and Yankees are trying to improve their respective bullpens from a leverage and depth perspective. They’ve all been in on Tanner Scott and Kyle Finnegan, but that’s just at the high end of the market. They’ve also been trying to land relievers such as Mark Leiter Jr. of the Cubs, Luis Garcia of the Angels, Dylan Floro of the Nationals, Chad Green of the Blue Jays and both Lucas Erceg and Austin Adams of the A’s.
5. Are the Rays and White Sox done selling?
The Rays have dealt Isaac Paredes, Randy Arozarena, Jason Adam, Zach Eflin, Aaron Civale and Phil Maton. Yet they still could move second baseman Brandon Lowe, first baseman Yandy Díaz and closer Pete Fairbanks, among others. The Rays have been one of the stories of the trade deadline, but are they done? Meanwhile, the White Sox have traded Erick Fedde, Michael Kopech and Tommy Pham. Will they now trade Garrett Crochet or Luis Robert Jr.? Or will they end up moving more peripheral players like shortstop Paul DeJong or one of their right-handed power hitters such as Andrew Vaughn or Eloy Jiménez? They’ve lost 15 straight games — it’s time to win some trades.
6. Will the Giants keep selling?
The Giants’ trade of Soler and Luke Jackson to the Braves reduced their future financial exposure, but also indicated they might continue to sell and retool for 2025 and beyond. (A mix of buying and selling is also possible for San Francisco, which enters Tuesday four games out of playoff position in the standings.) They hold arguably the best trade chip: No pitcher or player could get a better return at the deadline than Snell. The Yankees, Red Sox and Orioles, along with other teams, would be interested in acquiring Snell and likely willing to pay a painful prospect price, especially given how he’s pitched over his past four starts (0.75 ERA over four outings in July). Will he stay or go? And what other moves will the Giants make?
7. Desperation Meter: Which teams are the most desperate to make a move?
The Yankees and Orioles are preparing for an epic race in the AL East and both are desperate to add more before the deadline. The Mariners and Astros have made significant acquisitions to upgrade their rosters, so will the rival Rangers feel pressure to make a big move too? Will the Mets land a starter? Will the Red Sox and Royals get the right-handed bat they’ve been looking for? The Desperation Meter may determine who makes a move and who doesn’t before the clock strikes 6 p.m.

Police detained dozens of people as crowds gathered across the French capital following PSG’s victory.
Large crowds gathered near the Arc de Triomphe after the match, with some fans setting off flares and blaring car horns, according to reports from The Associated Press.
Police worked to contain thousands of people gathered along the Champs-Élysées.

Transgender Jurupa Valley senior AB Hernandez wins state track medal amid muted protest
CLOVIS — Jurupa Valley senior AB Hernandez placed third in the CIF state championship long jump on Saturday, medaling in the event for the second consecutive year.
Hernandez, who is transgender, has faced harassment and ire from anti-trans protesters and conservative pundits during the past two years. She jumped 20 feet, 2 1/4 inches on Saturday, behind first-place finisher Ellie McCuskey-Hay of St. Ignatius (20-3½) and Gianna Gonzalez of Moorpark (20-3½).
Under CIF policy, transgender athletes who place at the state championships receive medals but do not displace cisgender girls in the final standings. The federation announced last year that the policy would apply specifically to the long jump, triple jump and high jump — the three events Hernandez competed in — and the rule remained in effect for her three events this weekend.
Hernandez shared her third-place podium with St. Mary’s Berkeley jumper Corrine Jones, who reached 19-9 ½.
Hernandez secured her place in Saturday’s finals on her opening long jump attempt Friday, posting a mark strong enough to hold the top qualifying position. She passed on her remaining two attempts after safely locking up advancement.
The atmosphere surrounding the state championships was notably calmer than a year ago, when demonstrations over Hernandez’s participation drew national attention. On Friday, the most visible protest activity came before the meet, when Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton held a news conference outside Veterans Memorial Stadium, noting that the primary election was just four days away.
Standing before signs reading “Hey, CIF: Girls’ Sports Girls Only” on Friday, Hilton criticized the California Interscholastic Federation’s policies governing transgender athletes.
On Saturday, the Rainbow Families Action group hosted a news conference outside in support of Hernandez. Counter-protesters showed up toward the end and shouted toward the Hernandez supporters and the two sides exchanged some words before dispersing.
Inside the stadium, however, the focus largely remained on the competition. Spectators cheered as Hernandez began her long-jump approach, and some fans wore bracelets bearing the message “We Stand With AB.”
Event organizers prohibited signs inside the venue. Unlike last year, when advocacy groups on both sides staged more visible demonstrations, the off-track theatrics were largely absent.
Meanwhile, Democrat Tom Steyer released a video on X on Friday featuring a previous conversation with Hernandez, in which he expressed support for her participation in high school athletics.
The 17-year-old arrived in Clovis after sweeping all three of her events at the Southern Section championships.
Entering the state meet, Hernandez ranked among the nation’s top 10 performers in all three events. She shared California’s best high jump mark, was tied for second in the long jump and ranked second in the triple jump. She will compete in the high jump and triple jump later Saturday.

Dispatch audio reveals what was heard inside Josh Jacobs’ home before alleged domestic violence arrest
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Released dispatch audio has added some context to the alleged domestic violence incident involving Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, one of which came from inside his Wisconsin residence.
The audio, obtained by TMJ 4, reveals a dispatcher speaking with a police officer about the “yelling and screaming” she could hear on an open line within Jacobs’ home.
“Things being thrown, open line,” the dispatcher tells the officer. “…Possibly a male and female.”

Then, a second call’s audio was added, as a dispatcher describes a neighbor calling about what they can hear from Jacobs’ home.
“The neighbor is calling now, saying that her neighbor was assaulted,” dispatch called out.

When authorities arrived at Jacobs’ residence, he wasn’t there. He left the scene in his Mercedes G-Wagon, though police tracked his license plate readers. A call went out to stop the vehicle if it was seen on the road.
Jacobs was arrested on Tuesday following an investigation by the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department, and he was booked on five domestic abuse-related charges.
The department said in the statement that Jacobs was booked into Brown County Jail on charges of domestic abuse battery, domestic abuse criminal damage to property, domestic abuse disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. According to Brown County Jail records, strangulation and suffocation is a felony, while the other four are misdemeanors.

The investigation remains active and ongoing, the statement added.
Jacobs’ attorneys, David Z. Chesnoff and Clarence Duchac, say the 28-year-old denies all charges.
“Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public,” the attorneys’ statement read.
“We ask for fairness and restraint while the judicial process takes its course.”
The NFL was made aware of the situation and has contacted the Packers. Green Bay also told The Athletic that it wouldn’t make comment due to the ongoing investigation on the matter.

Jacobs finished his second season with the Packers, tallying 929 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 1,234 carries in 2025. In 2024, he racked up 1,329 yards on 301 attempts with 15 touchdowns to lead the way for the Packers’ ground game in his inaugural season up north.
Jacobs, who spent five seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders prior to his time in Green Bay, has led the league in the past with rushing yards. His 2022 campaign saw 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns across a full 17-game slate.
