Here's how each club's playoff hopes have risen or fallen, plus how complete every MLB roster is today.
The MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and the landscape of the league has shifted significantly as a result. For fans of all 30 teams, the question on everyone's mind is what's next for their favorite club. Some teams made big splashes at the deadline, bolstering their rosters with key additions, while others stood pat or even sold off pieces. The impact of these moves can be seen in the shifting playoff hopes of each team, with some clubs rising up the standings and others falling back.
The completeness of each MLB roster is also a major factor to consider as the season heads into its final stretch.

As the season enters its final weeks, every game takes on added importance, and the margin between success and failure is razor-thin.
As the playoff picture continues to take shape, fans will be watching closely to see how their team's roster stacks up against the competition. The next few weeks will be crucial in determining which teams will be playing in October and which will be heading home early. For teams on the bubble, every win and every loss will be magnified, and the pressure will be intense. As the season hurtles towards its conclusion, one thing is certain - the final stretch of the MLB season is going to be a wild ride, and fans on tour will be right in the middle of it all.
