The 2026 MLB trade deadline arrives next week, with teams expected to move multiple prospects by 6 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 3. Analysts have identified 10 players who could change teams due to roster depth or organizational needs.
The deadline is one week away and clubs are preparing to deal from their farm systems. Prospects such as outfielder Kevin Alcántara of the Cubs and catcher Leo Bernal of the Cardinals top the list of potential moves.
Catcher Caden Bodine of the Rays and third baseman Andrew Fischer of the Brewers also appear likely to be traded. Teams like the Dodgers hold several outfield prospects, including Zyhir Hope and James Tibbs III, who could be part of packages.
Right-hander Ben Hess of the Yankees and shortstop Bryan Rincon of the Phillies round out the group. The Yankees and Red Sox are both positioned to use pitching depth in deals.
