CBS Sports • • general
Key Points:
- The 2026 MLB trade deadline is set for 6 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 3, with many prospects expected to be traded, though unlikely any top-tier prospects like Leo De Vries.
- Several notable prospects could be moved due to being blocked on their current teams or attracting trade interest, including OF Kevin Alcántara (Cubs), C Leo Bernal (Cardinals), and Caden Bodine (Rays).
- The Dodgers are likely to trade an outfield prospect given their depth, with Zyhir Hope and James Tibbs III highlighted as prime candidates.
- Pitching prospects such as RHP Ben Hess (Yankees) and RHP Marcus Phillips (Red Sox) may be used as trade chips to bolster major-league rosters.
- Other potential trade candidates include 3B Andrew Fischer (Brewers), C/OF Cooper Ingle (Guardians), and SS Bryan Rincon (Phillies), who could be moved due to roster constraints or positional depth.
