There are two standard deadlines.
The first is July 31. Trades made before or by this date (16:00 Eastern; used to be midnight) can be made without any of the involved players going through waivers (this is a procedure by which all the other MLB teams have a chance to claim a given player; if a claim is filed, the original team either must reach a deal or withdraw the waiver request and keep the player).
From August 01-31, players cannot be traded unless they have been through the waiver process and no claim filed (or, yes, traded to the claiming team). The waiver request process lasts 72 hours. Teams routinely put most or all of their players on the waiver line, simply to expedite any potential deals later on. Claimed players tend to be withdrawn, but sometimes a deal goes through. Players must be traded by August 31 (again, 16:00 Eastern) in order to qualify for postseason play with their new team.
Players can be traded after August 31 but cannot be added to the postseason roster. This happened with Mike Stanton in 2005 -- Washington asked for waivers on him and Boston claimed him, mainly to prevent the Yankees (who were ahead in the standings, and so could not file a claim before the Red Sox; reverse order of standings takes precedence) from getting him. The deal went down on September 29; Stanton joined the Sox for four games, pitched in one, but was not eligible to pitch in the ALDS.

The major league trading deadline for non waiver deals is july 31. Trades can be made up to August 31, but the player has to clear waivers first.
