The deadline is a month away. Could players such as Tarik Skubal, Luis Arraez and Freddy Peralta finish the season on a different team?
MLB front offices are already thinking ahead to the offseason. Here are the storylines that will rule the winter.
The Padres placed Luis Arraez on the seven-day concussion injured list Monday, a day after he collided with the Astros' Mauricio Dubon on a frightening play at first base.
San Diego designated hitter Luis Arraez returned to the stadium postgame after he was taken to a hospital following a collision with Mauricio Dubon on a play at first base in the first inning of the Padres' 3-2 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday night.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays avoided salary arbitration with a $28.5 million, one-year deal, while Framber Valdez and the Astros reached an $18 million deal.
A team spokesman said Luis Arraez was expected to resume hitting in about eight weeks and should be fully healthy for the start of spring training.
