- If I perceive the post-deadline guidelines, minor leaguers can nonetheless be traded, sure? In that case, I believe the Purple Sox must get Trey Mancini from the D-Backs. I believe this could nonetheless be accomplished and he may (hopefully) assist fill a gap at 1B that Breslow could not deal with. Ideas?

- Ran by way of post-deadline acquisition guidelines right here over the weekend:
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/08/how-to-acquire-players-after-th…Some, not all minor leaguers will be traded. Any participant who’s on a minor league contract that has not been chosen to the majors this season is eligible. He can solely be traded for money, a PTBNL or different minor leaguers who’ve not had their contracts chosen to a serious league roster. The PTBNL can’t be somebody on a 40-man roster or another person who’s been beforehand on an enormous league roster.There are some oddball exceptions. Cavan Biggio was traded final September as a result of he’d been launched from his prior main league contract (not had that contract outrighted) and signed a brand new minor league cope with the Giants, as an example.
- However by and huge, you may cross off the thought of buying and selling for the overwhelming majority of gamers who’ve appeared on a serious league roster or injured record all season.
- Mancini is eligible to be traded, although if the Purple Sox felt he was a distinguished improve to their first base state of affairs, they may’ve already acquired him from the D-backs for a tune. Arizona is not going to present Mancini a lot of a glance (if any take a look at all) — not after buying Tyler Locklear to play 1B going ahead.
