What happened: Players on 40-man rosters can be traded until the deadline. Outright waiver claims can continue after trades close.

Why it matters: Monday's timing avoids players being dealt during games; all eight games that day start at 6:40 p.m. ET or later. The collective bargaining agreement allows the date to fall between July 28 and Aug. 3.

What to watch: Postseason eligibility will next hinge on players being in an organization by Aug. 31 and meeting roster requirements by noon ET on Sept. 1.
