From a batting champ to a pair of Mets, here are the players to watch as the 6 p.m. ET deadline nears.
The trade deadline is finally here, and it's anyone's guess which players will be sporting new uniforms come tomorrow. For fans, it's always exciting to see their favorite players potentially on the move, and for fantasy teams, it's crunch time to make those last-minute adjustments. The list of players likely to be dealt includes some big names, and it's clear that teams are looking to make some strategic moves to bolster their rosters for the stretch run.
The inclusion of a batting champ on this list is particularly interesting, as it's not often that a player with that kind of skill is available on the market.

Meanwhile, the presence of a pair of Mets on this list has fans in Queens wondering what the future might hold for their team. Are they looking to rebuild, or simply tweak their roster to make a deeper playoff run?
As the clock ticks down to 6 p.m. ET, all eyes will be on the teams and players on this list. Will any of these players make a dramatic impact on their new teams, or will they simply fill out the roster? To watch next: keep an eye on the waiver wire and roster moves, as teams finalize their lineups for the rest of the season. Additionally, stay tuned for reports on which teams made the biggest moves and how they might impact the playoff picture.
