The MLB trade deadline is moving again. MLB has informed teams that the trade deadline will be on Aug. 3 at 6pm ET. MLB announces trade deadline date change that puts pressure on Blue JaysOne of the big things GM Ross Atkins will have to consider is that by waiting to make a a trade on deadline day the player, specifically a rental piece, will end up playing less games overall for the Blue Jays. However, Atkins has made it a habit of trying to get some deals done ahead of the actual deadline day. The Blue Jays will begin a series against the Houston Astro's on the road on this year's deadline day and they will hopefully be in a buyers position again.
