Following the deadline, they lost key games to Tampa Bay and Houston, dropping to second in the American League West. Chris Young expressed a desire for aggressive trading, but the market challenges hindered significant acquisitions. The team's bullpen struggles continued to impact their playoff hopes as they sit 2.5 games back in the division and a game and a half behind in the Wild Card race.
