Brody Hopkins - Traded to Tampa Bay Hopkins, Aidan Smith and a player to be named later were traded from the Mariners to the Rays in exchange for Randy Arozarena on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hopkins was selected in the sixth round of the 2023 MLB First-Year Player Draft by the Mariners. He's spent the entire 2024 season at Single-A Modesto and pitched well with a 2.90 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across 83.2 innings while also tallying a 95:40 K:BB. His control is a concern, and there may not be much more upside in his profile as he was drafted as a college arm and is currently in his age-22 season.

2024 MLB trade deadline: Ranking 40 players who could make the most impact

While there might be players more likely to get traded, these are the top difference-makers who could shape the deadline.

JULY 25

Drew Rasmussen - Throwing heat on rehab assignment Rasmussen (elbow) gave up one hit and struck out a batter over a scoreless inning during his rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Durham.

Impact Rasmussen has tossed a pair of scoreless frames over his first two rehab outings with Durham and doesn't seem to be showing any signs of rust as he makes his way back from the internal brace procedure he underwent on his right elbow July 24, 2023. Not only has he yet to issue a walk, but he's also been flashing premium velocity on his rehab assignment; six of his 16 pitches Wednesday clocked in at over 96 miles per hour, and he maxed out at 98.3 mph. Though the Rays envision Rasmussen slotting back into the rotation in 2025, he'll be joining the big club as a reliever this season once he's activated from the 60-day injured list.
