A few trades have already come down, including the Yankees acquiring outfielder Andrew Benintendi and the Mariners picking up pitcher Luis Castillo. But there ...

Rays -- C Diehl was effectively a throw-in for the Mets. Orioles -- F The Seattle Mariners acquired Luis Castillo as they try to end the longest active playoff drought in major North American sports, but they had to give up a haul to do it. Neither team gets a lot better, but neither one gets a lot worse either. The Phillies added another infielder who doesn't hit well (Sosa has an OPS+ of 49 this year), whereas the Cardinals picked up a reliever in Romero who has hardly seen any MLB action this year. The Cubs, meanwhile, get the Yankees' No. 7 prospect Hayden Wesneski. Wesneski has starter potential on the back end of the rotation, but he could be best-suited as a reliever. The jury is still out on if Cleavinger is a Quad-A guy, but the Rays tend to get quite a bit out of their arms. Effross isn't the answer for the Yankees. He could be a nice complementary piece if they make a bigger deal. Frankly, these weren't the guys Yankees fans wanted. They traded away Chayce McDermott and Jose Siri to complete a three-team deal with the Orioles and Rays. Are they buyers, trying to shore up for a playoff run?

ACQUIRED Most of the action will likely come Tuesday afternoon, but some teams aren't waiting to get business done. Nationals phenom Juan Soto is the most notable name on the market, and he could fetch one of the biggest trade packages ever seen after rejecting a contract extension offer in Washington.

MLB trade deadline 2022: Live updates on latest rumors, deals; will Juan Soto get traded? USA TODAY Sports.

"Trading good players on good teams is difficult, and that certainly is the case with Josh," Brewers president David Stearns said. On paper, the Tigers were lined up to compete. They grabbed Oakland A’s ace Frankie Montas on Monday when they couldn’t get Cincinnati Reds ace Luis Castillo. They passed on Brewers All-Star closer Josh Hader, who went to San Diego, but turned around and acquired Oakland closer Lou Trivino in the Montas trade. What makes the Padres different from the other rumored suitors for Soto is that they might have a bit more trouble getting him to sign a long-term extension before he becomes a free agent at the end of the 2024 season. Perhaps the possibility of a Juan Soto trade has kept a number of other deals on hold. They’re out on the Juan Soto sweepstakes, but acquired Andrew Benintendi from the Kansas City Royals last week. The Rays also acquired outfielder Jose Siri on Monday and should have Manuel Margot and Harold Ramirez coming back off the injured list soon. (The Orioles' Felix Bautista gets a similar boost in value with Jorge Lopez traded to Minnesota.) Montas’ 4-9 record belies his excellent 3.18 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. However, he has taken full advantage of the spacious Oakland Coliseum this season. 1B Trey Mancini, Astros. Mancini was one of the hitters most impacted by the Orioles moving the left field wall back 30 feet this season. The Twins have gone through several closers after trading 2021 All-Star Taylor Rogers to the Padres this spring. In Seattle, he’ll have a much more neutral home park and a better defense behind him.

MLB Trade Deadline 2022: Live Grades for All the Biggest Trades (Bleacher Report)

Buckle up, everyone. Major League Baseball's trade deadline is finally here. If you're looking for live grades on all the big deals, keep it here and hit...

A big reason for that? No thanks to the injury bug, the Rays offense has had a rough go of things lately. All the same, he's such a good strike-thrower that his strikeout-to-walk ratio is a sparkling 6.9 for his career. Mancini, who only has a .751 OPS for the season, might look like a modest upgrade. By this standard, Oakland's return feels a little light. Quintana, 33, is a nice stabilizer. Kelly, meanwhile, is a legitimate prospect. To be sure, a sizable chunk of the Padres' young talent base is gone because of this trade. Far from a rental, Marsh is under team control through 2027. Beyond a steady regular in center field, the Phillies have spent much of the season in need of defensive upgrades. Szapucki, at least, has a chance to be more than a throw-in. Particularly offensively, where the right-handed hitter has just a .487 OPS.

Arizona Diamondbacks trade grades for 2022 MLB trade deadline ... (AZCentral.com)

How were the Arizona Diamondbacks' trades at the 2022 MLB trade deadline received by MLB writers? They share their grades for the team's moves.

That isn't a knock against him, but one does wonder if the Snakes could have done better for the best rental among their inventory of trade chips." This was a cheap addition for the Rays, too, with teenage catcher Christian Cerda being the only prospect to go to Arizona. Hitting well in rookie ball, Cerda is farm depth for the Dbacks, who were never going to do much better for a rental of this natures." Sam Cox wrote: "The Diamondbacks have seen Luke Weaver find his best stuff out the bullpen over the last month and it resulted in a trade with the Royals, who are long-time admirers of the former Cardinal. Arizona landed Emmanuel Rivera, a controllable infielder, in return. Still, given the lack of decent hitters available, it’s a little surprising the Diamondbacks weren’t able to get a little more for Peralta. Check back in two years." He's having a strong season for the Rays at their rookie level affiliate in Florida, but the Rays needed help ASAP." David Schoenfield wrote: "Cerda was born in the Bronx, but signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2019.

The Winners and Losers of the 2022 MLB Trade Deadline (The Ringer)

Juan Soto is officially a San Diego Padre, contenders across the AL leveled up, and the Baltimore Orioles … well, that's another story.

Most of the current Orioles have never been in a playoff race before; and these two trades are a kick in the teeth both to a roster that has outperformed expectations and the fans who have gotten back on board. This team is over .500 in August for the first time in six non-COVID-altered seasons, and just 2 1/2 games out of playoff spot at the deadline. Inking the NL’s leader in slugging percentage to a $21 million-a-year contract is a nice bit of business. The bartender mixes a Peralta on the rocks and leaves it on the rail with a menu. The A’s do things their own way, and have for decades, so it’s hard to just go down a prospect list and say “this is a fair return for Montas.” Instead, you have to figure out what the A’s will do with whatever players they acquire. The Hader deal isn’t the biggest deal of the deadline by any definition, but it will be one of the most fun to watch going forward. What makes that trade fun is that there are maybe half a dozen teams in the league that have absolute confidence in their own scouting and player development ability and are justified in having that confidence. But for a team that actually had the prospects to compete with San Diego’s Soto package—whether Washington would’ve traded Soto within the division is another story—it’s a bit of a disappointment. At the deadline, the Mets picked up a high-leverage reliever, both halves of a pretty good DH platoon, a fourth outfielder who can serve as a late-game defensive replacement, a backup catcher, and a partridge in a pear tree. All told, it was a very good deadline for the Cardinals in terms of the deals they got done. The variance on the players the Padres gave up is enormous, and while each one has the potential to come back and turn into an All-Star, there’s a non-trivial possibility that in four years, we could look back at this deadline and see that San Diego got Soto, Bell, and Hader for basically nothing. Montgomery was a high price to pay for Bader, a superb defensive outfielder whose bat comes and goes, but with Montas in the fold, New York won’t miss Montgomery as much.

MLB trade deadline winners and losers 2022: Padres, Astros and ... (Sporting News)

Taking a look at the teams that fared the best (and worst) at the 2022 MLB trade deadline.

It has been a disappointing season for the Giants after they had the best record in 2021, and it seemed that it could lead to San Francisco becoming sellers. But with the Mets trying to hold off the Braves, who acquired Jake Odorizzi and Raisel Iglesias, in the NL East, they needed to make more moves. The Red Sox didn't really get better, they didn't really trade for prospect depth and they didn't dump enough salary to get under the luxury tax threshold. They obtained Tyler Naquin from the Reds, traded for the weak-side of a first-base platoon in Darin Ruf to join earlier acquisition Dan Vogelbach, and acquired Mychal Givens from the Cubs. But while New York was able to make some inexpensive improvements, there wasn't the big splash the Mets needed. New York acquired Andrew Benintendi from the Royals and Montas from the Athletics, and kept its top three prospects in the process. Then, they traded for Reds' starter Tyler Mahle, who has a 4.40 ERA and 3.60 FIP, to bolster the rotation for a few more prospects. There are going to be some Yankee fans that would dispute their placement as a winner after missing out on both Soto and Castillo, but they got the next-best thing at each position. It went out and landed one of the top rental bats on the market in Trey Mancini from the Orioles. Mancini's .751 OPS is .065 points higher than Gurriel's .686 OPS, and he brings more power (10 home runs to seven) and defensive versatility (first base or outfield). Then the Astros got a major upgrade at catcher in bringing in Christian Vazquez from Boston and brought in southpaw reliever Will Smith, who has struggled in 2022 but could return to his 2021 dominance. They also acquired first baseman Josh Bell, perhaps the best first baseman on the market, in the same trade as Soto. But that wasn't all. They added rotation depth by trading for Matthew Boyd, who will be returning from the injured list before the end of the season, they added catching depth behind Cal Raleigh by acquiring Curt Casali and they traded for Jake Lamb to put together a platoon at third base with Eugenio Suarez. Just obtaining Castillo would be a win enough, but Boyd, Casali and Lamb, though minor moves, are going to help improve a team looking to make its first playoff appearance since 2001. They also acquired maybe the best closer on the market in Josh Hader. But that wasn't all. The trade deadline passed at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and it delivered on the hype.
