TRADE: The Red Sox have made a deadline deal, sending minor-league infielder Blaze Jordan to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for 34-year-old pitcher Steven Matz. The Cardinals officially announced the move Thursday morning. The veteran lefty worked out of the bullpen in St. Louis, but has experience starting games.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is almost here, with contending teams deciding what they need to add before 6 p.m. ET on Thursday. The San Diego Padres shook up deadline day with a trade for Mason Miller and JP Sears.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline has sparked a whirlwind of activity as teams rush to strengthen their rosters for the postseason.
