2026 MLB trade deadline rumors, news, live updates: Tarik Skubal trade looms as Tigers ace notches 1,000th career strikeout; Curtis Mead fractures wrist after trade to Red Sox

The MLB trade deadline is fast approaching.

Teams looking to improve their standing for a postseason run have until Monday at 6 p.m. ET to make a move. A few trades have so far trickled in, including Boston's acquisition of Curtis Mead that backfired immediately when he sustained a fractured wrist in his first game with the Red Sox.

But the fates of the biggest names on the block — most notably two-time Cy Young Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal — remain uncertain.

The Yankees, Red Sox, Braves and Brewers are among the potential buyers on the market.

The Tigers are the biggest wild card as they decide whether or not to pursue their long-shot playoff hopes or painfully part with Skubal.

The Mets and Blue Jays, two of the biggest disappointments of the season, are expected to be sellers — or, at least they probably should be.
