There's a decent chance some Major League Baseball team will make a transaction July 31 that alters the trajectory of the 2025 season. Will it be the Milwaukee Brewers? The MLB trade deadline arrives at 5 p.m. CT, and teams will surely be busy working the phones up until the final moments.

The Milwaukee Brewers have already been one of the big winners of the trade cycle this year, but there's still more work to do before the clock runs out. At 5 p.m. CT on Thursday, trades will cease for the rest of the season.

Barring a dramatic shift on Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates are likely to keep right-hander Mitch Keller, according to major-league sources briefed on their discussions.A trade of Keller represents perhaps the Pirates’ best chance to acquire impact offensive talent.
