The 2024 MLB trade deadline is here!

Teams around Major League Baseball will have to decide whether it’s time to buy, sell, or stand pat as Tuesday’s 3 pm PDT deadline approaches.

Fringe playoff teams currently in limbo, like the San Francisco Giants, don’t have much time to decide which direction they are taking, while others, like the New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, and Los Angeles Dodgers, will hope to stock up for a postseason run that will last into October.

With some players already on the move and many more deals to come, here is everything that you need to know about the 2024 MLB trade deadline:

What time is the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline?

• When is the MLB Trade Deadline? For 2024, it is scheduled for July 30 at 3 p.m. PT.

• For many years, the Deadline was always on July 31 at 1 p.m. PT. The Commissioner’s Office can now set the Deadline for any date between July 28 and Aug. 3, in an effort to avoid conflicting with games.

What is the MLB Trade Deadline?

• The Trade Deadline is the last point during the season at which players on 40-man rosters can be traded from one club to another. Those players may still be placed and claimed on outright waivers, but trades will no longer be permitted after July 30 at 3 p.m. PT. Prior to 2019, July 31 was referred to as the non-waiver Trade Deadline, and players could be traded after that date if they first cleared revocable trade waivers. The August waiver trade period was eliminated in 2019, with MLB moving to a single Deadline.

• Minor Leaguers not on 40-man rosters can still be traded after the Deadline. However, any player must be in an organization by the end of Aug. 31 (whether on the 40-man roster or not) in order to be eligible to appear in the postseason for that club.
