July 17: Braves acquire RHP Dane Dunning from Rangers for RHP José Ruiz
Dunning's tenure with the Rangers comes to an end after five seasons. Acquired from the White Sox in a 2020 deal for Lance Lynn, Dunning led Texas with 172 2/3 innings pitched while posting a 3.70 during the club's World Series championship-winning season in '23. However, he regressed in 2024 (5.31 ERA) and has spent much of '25 in the Minors. He'll provide some length for a Braves club missing a number of starters.
July 16: Royals acquire 2B Adam Frazier from Pirates for SS Cam Devanney
After returning for his second stint with the Pirates in the offseason, Frazier is now headed back to Kansas City, the team with which he spent the 2024 campaign. The move perhaps signals that the Royals, despite entering the All-Star break with a 47-50 record, view themselves as Trade Deadline buyers. In exchange for Frazier, Pittsburgh receives Devanney, a 28-year-old with 18 homers and a .931 OPS over 69 games in Triple-A this season.
July 10: Rays acquire RHP Bryan Baker from Orioles for Competitive Balance Round A Draft pick (37th overall) in 2025
In the midst of a disappointing season and expected to be sellers at the Trade Deadline, the O's made the decision to trade Baker (controllable through 2028) several weeks before the Deadline in order to nab an early pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. From the Rays' perspective, the trade satisfied an immediate need for bullpen help while also giving them a reliever who can help beyond this year.
June 15: Giants acquire DH Rafael Devers from Red Sox for LHP Kyle Harrison, RHP Jordan Hicks, RHP Jose Bello and OF James Tibbs III
In a shocking blockbuster that seemingly came out of nowhere over a month before the July 31 Trade Deadline, the Giants acquired Devers from the Red Sox for four players. San Francisco also agreed to assume all of the money remaining on Devers' contract. Devers, who was in the second year of a 10-year, $313.5 million extension with the Red Sox, had become the face of the franchise in Boston. However, the relationship between the two sides became fractured after the club signed another third baseman -- Alex Bregman -- this past offseason.
