Yankees, Padres Make Big Deadline Trades

The 2025 MLB trade deadline saw the New York Yankees and San Diego Padres make significant roster moves, positioning themselves as major winners. The Yankees acquired infielder Ryan McMahon and several right-handed bench players, while also adding relievers Camilo Doval, David Bednar, and Jake Bird to strengthen their bullpen. The Padres made a landmark trade by sending top prospect Leo De Vries to the Athletics for Mason Miller, marking a rare in-season move of a highly ranked prospect, and added further depth for their playoff push. These trades sparked a wave of roster adjustments across minor league affiliates, notably affecting teams like the Fort Wayne TinCaps. The Atlanta Braves remained largely inactive, retaining veteran contracts despite being out of playoff contention. Additional deals included the Nationals obtaining prospect Josh Randall from the Tigers and the Pirates acquiring Perez from the Yankees for David Bednar.
