This is the first year where there will only be one trade deadline. Previously, teams could make trades until August 31 by placing the player on revocable waivers, but now any trade needs to be completed before July 31. One of the ideas behind eliminating August trades is to have more teams view themselves as contenders and make more competitive trades, but there are some unexpected side effects. One of which is that without the ability to make a waiver trade, the Mets’ chances of trading Zack Wheeler have been heavily impacted.
