What happened: National League clubs enter the final day for in-season trades with postseason berths still in play.

Why it matters: Wild-card positioning can determine which clubs buy, sell or hold. Contenders must weigh immediate roster upgrades against the cost of future assets.

What to watch: Watch which clubs commit to the playoff chase before the cutoff.
