MLB Rumors: Mets Expect to Trade Noah Syndergaard by Trade Deadline

Keep up with the latest MLB rumors leading up to the trade deadline on July 31.

The MLB trade deadline is now less than a week away, and the rumors around who will be staying and going are heating up.

Though no blockbuster deals have taken place yet, many teams, including the Blue Jays and Tigers appear to be sellers at the point. Several clubs are scouring those teams looking for starters and bullpen help.

Expect playoff contenders to be active up until the 4 p.m. trade deadline on July 21, trying to solidify or keep their leads in division races.

There is no waiver trade deadline this season so teams need to finalize their plans moving forward before then.
