The Major League Baseball trade deadline is July 31, which means we're eight days away and the ticking of the clock is starting to become audible. We've seen very little movement thus far, but there's still some sorting out to be done in the standings and we've got over a week.

The Twins are seeking at least two top-100 caliber prospects in exchange for either Duran or Jax, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.

MLB trade deadline is a little more than a week away. Teams have until 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31, to make their most impactful additions to prior to the stretch run and postseason. The old August and September waiver trade system is no more.
