Fantasy Baseball Trade Deadline: The 31 players who could be most impacted, from Kade Anderson to Mason Miller

You may have heard that the trade deadline is coming down the pike, scheduled for Monday at 6 p.m. ET. It’s of significant interest to the baseball world, both the real one and the Fantasy one, but the impact on each is different. The biggest difference? The players who are actually dealt are of the most interest in real baseball, but the ones left behind tend to matter more for Fantasy, particularly in instances of a new closer or a new call-up. On the subject of call-ups, there may still be a delay in their arrival, even for those with a new path open to them. By holding out just a couple more weeks (inside of 45 days to go, basically), a team can preserve a potential call-up’s rookie eligibility for 2027, thus keeping certain draft pick incentives intact. Such call-ups are still worth highlighting as potential risers, but understand that their impact may not be immediate.With that in mind, here are the players whose Fantasy value could be altered most at the deadline, for better or worse. To avoid repetition, I’ve grouped players by particular trade scenarios rather than highlighting them individually.
