AFL Considers Mid-Season Trade Period for 2025

Discussions about implementing a Mid-Season Trade Period in the AFL continue into 2025, with clubs eager to strengthen their rosters immediately, as seen in hypothetical trade scenarios such as the potential move of player Tsatas to the West Coast Eagles to address midfield needs. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals face a pressing need to boost their offense by acquiring a powerful hitter, likely requiring the trade of key pitchers like Seth Lugo despite his solid performance, to improve their run production. In the NHL, the St. Louis Blues aim to acquire young defensemen to complement their core, with players like K'Andre Miller of the Rangers being realistic trade targets due to contract situations, while also considering forwards like Trevor Zegras to enhance their lineup. These trade discussions across leagues highlight strategic moves teams are considering to address immediate roster weaknesses and long-term competitiveness through mid-season or upcoming trade windows.
