We’ll be dropping one final iteration of our top (remaining) trade candidates for today’s 6pm ET deadline this morning. Look for that early on, and in the meantime, here are some of the many key storylines to follow on 2026 Deadline Day. Detroit netted some big league-ready players (or close to it) in righty River Ryan and outfielder Zyhir Hope. They also called up star prospect Max Clark just a day before the Skubal trade. The Skubal trade dropped them under the tax line, so they can now recoup a comp pick after the first round if they make a qualifying offer to Casey Mize.
