What happened: Prospects from every MLB organization could enter trade discussions before the deadline. Clubs are weighing immediate upgrades against long-term depth.
Why it matters: Contenders can exchange young talent for major-league help during the stretch run, while sellers can replenish their farm systems. Those decisions will affect playoff rosters and future depth.
By the numbers: All 30 organizations are represented, with one prospect per club.
What to watch: Watch for potential trade chips to become part of completed deals as the cutoff approaches.
