While plenty of trades involving star players — such as Tarik Skubal and Freddy Peralta — went down over the weekend, deadline day itself is expected to be as chaotic as ever. Early reports suggested Skubal was holding up the deadline itself, with rival executives waiting for his inevitable move before allowing the levy to break. There are still plenty of good, controllable players available, including Zach Neto of the Los Angeles Angels, Hunter Goodman of the Colorado Rockies, Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles and even Jacob deGrom of the Texas Rangers, should they decide to sell. Needless to say, deadline day will be anything but chalk.
