MLB trades after the trade deadline are still possible in August, provided players meet specific criteria. Waiver claims allow player movement, with trades of Minor Leaguers feasible until the conclusion of the World Series. However, players on a 40-man roster, the 60-day injured list, or who have not played above the Minor League this season cannot be traded. Waiver claims also allow teams to acquire designated players, and those with over five years of MLB experience can choose to elect free agency after clearing waivers.
MLB trades in August are still permitted if players meet specific criteria. Waiver claims provide another avenue for player movement, allowing the claiming team to take on a player's salary.
Teams can add players designated for assignment through waivers, unable to do so via trade. Players with five years of MLB experience can refuse assignments and pursue free agency.
