Baseball trades refer to the process by which baseball teams exchange players, prospects, or other assets to improve their roster, enhance team performance, or manage finances. Trades can occur at various points during the season, including during the offseason, mid-season, or at trade deadlines. The objective of a trade can vary such as acquiring a star player to boost a team’s chances of winning, offloading underperforming players, or building for the future by acquiring young talent and prospects.
