Major League Baseball’s 2022 trade deadline is in the books. The deadline ended at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday, meaning teams have just finished bolstering their rosters ahead of a push into the playoffs in August and September. This year’s trade deadline was not short on intrigue or big names. The biggest name of all — Juan Soto — was floated about six hours before the deadline. The Nationals sent the superstar outfielder (along with Josh Bell) to the Padres for an eight-player package.
Otherwise, the Yankees were one of MLB’s busiest teams before the deadline, acquiring first baseman Frankie Montas, outfielders Andrew Benintendi and Harrison Bader, and relievers Lou Trivino and Scott Efross, while sending Joey Gallo to Dodgers. Prior to the Soto deal, the Padres pulled off a surprise acquisition of Josh Hader from the Brewers. Luis Castillo (Mariners), Noah Syndergaard (Philies), Eric Hosmer (Red Sox) and Whit Merrifield (Blue Jays) also found new homes.
