The All-Star break is behind us and the 2025 MLB season is heading for the home stretch. With 15 teams legitimately in contention for Wild Card spots, the race to the finish could get hectic, which might make this one of the most active trade deadlines in recent years.

The move comes two weeks before the MLB trade deadline, which is on July 31, where many speculated that the Braves could be sellers. Atlanta, 42-53, is 9.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot in the National League and could look to offload some of their pricier rentals.

Here's why I would like to see the MLB trade deadline moved to Aug. 15, and what front office executives think on the topic.

Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes, who has just four wins this season despite leading MLB with a 2.01 ERA, will start for the National League. Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal starts for the American League, and he ranks top-five in pitching wins (10), ERA (2.23) and strikeouts (153).

The Pittsburgh Pirates ace started Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game and made quite the impression in his one inning of work. He struck out the first two batters he faced in Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene and then induced a ground out from Aaron Judge to complete his perfect frame.

The Atlanta Braves will host the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night years after it was taken away from the team due to a Georgia voting law.
