There are still dozens and dozens (and dozens) of free agents left.

But in case you wanted to set your clock for when the drop dead time will be for, say, the Mets to decide if they are dealing Pete Alonso before his free agency, then the trade deadline for 2024 will be July 30 at 6 p.m. ET.

As part of the latest collective bargaining agreement, the Commissioners Office received the power to set the trade deadline for between July 28 and Aug. 3 rather than just the historical July 31.

The league found that it liked having the deadline on a Tuesday.

For example, last year, the deadline was Tuesday, Aug. 1.

Thus, this year will be Tuesday, July 30.
