What happened: The trade window closes Monday at 6 p.m. ET, leaving contenders one final weekend to set their offers. Tarik Skubal is expected to draw the strongest interest among the players still available.

Why it matters: Skubal can become a free agent this offseason, making him a short-term acquisition. CJ Abrams is under team control for two more seasons, creating a different price profile.

By the numbers: Skubal recorded a 2.03 ERA with 41 strikeouts across 31 innings in his past five starts.

What to watch: Offers for Skubal or Abrams must now reach the threshold needed to complete a deal.
