No, this is not a Baltimore Orioles seller article. We aren’t going to be talking about the trade value of Cedric Mullins or Trey Mancini. Today, we are discussing the top trade targets for the Orioles ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline. Baltimore currently sits in last place in the AL East. However, they […]

The Seattle Mariners are one of the hottest teams in baseball right now and are suddenly a real threat to make a playoff push. Just a few weeks ago it would have been logical for the Mariners to enter the trade deadline with a sellers mentality, but that plan has completely gone by the wayside […]

Multiple teams are already planning on being buyers for next month’s MLB trade deadline. For the Chicago Cubs, they are reportedly aiming to complete a fire sale for the second consecutive year. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman provided notable updates on how several teams are looking to approach this season’s trade deadline. For the […]

The Chicago White Sox are under .500… and we are approaching mid-July. Many chalked up their difficult first month of the season to an early slump. At the end of May, Chicago was simply decimated with injuries. And then concern began to grow in June. And now we are in July, and the White Sox […]

The Boston Red Sox are right in the thick of the American League Wild Card race. They have eyes on winning the AL East, but the Yankees currently hold a 15 game lead over them. Although a comeback in the division is not out of the question, the Red Sox current focus is taking care […]

The 2022 MLB All-Star Game starters were announced on Friday for both the AL and NL. Chicago Cubs star Willson Contreras was among them as he’s set to start behind the dish on July 19th at Dodger Stadium. By no surprise, Contreras was asked about his future with the Cubs amid tons of rumors ahead […]

The Washington Nationals are 30-55 and plummeting further down the standings, having lost seven of their last 10 games. That leaves them with one option at this year’s MLB trade deadline: sell. But who could they deal? The team expressed no interest in trading superstar outfielder Juan Soto (can you blame them?), so that leaves […]

As the Los Angeles Angels continue to drop further away from a wild-card spot in the American League, there has been much speculation on the future of Mike Trout with the team. Trout has eight more seasons remaining on his contract with the Angels, as he is set to be owed $37.1 million for the […]

One of the most sought-after players at this year’s MLB trade deadline is expected to be Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star outfielder Bryan Reynolds. Reynolds has been the subject of trade rumors dating back to last year’s deadline, so seeing him pop up in trade scenarios isn’t surprising. After a poor start to the season, Reynolds’ market […]

With the Kansas City Royals off to an impressively bad start to the season, it stands to reason that the roster will be blown up ahead of the trade deadline. The Royals have a handful of valuable trade pieces they could look to flip for a haul of prospects in order to expedite their rebuild. […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks face an uphill battle to reach the playoffs this year, and could very well be one of the teams looking to sell at the trade deadline. Already 15.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West, Arizona still figures to be at least a few years away from contention. While there’s talent […]

With the MLB trade deadline merely weeks away, it’s becoming more clear what players could be available. There are a handful of starting pitchers expected to be dealt at the deadline, but a deal may have just been made more complicated after three potential trade pieces found themselves shelved with injuries. According to FanSided’s Robert […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are once again one of MLB’s best teams in 2022. They are going to be buying ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline. This means LA is scouting their farm system and deciding what prospects are worth trading. This can be a difficult process, since no team wants to trade baseball’s […]

The Cincinnati Reds are selling ahead of the trade deadline. They are one of the worst teams in baseball and have stated their rebuilding intentions. One player who might be the most coveted trade candidate ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline is Luis Castillo. Castillo is a veteran starting pitcher who has emerged as […]

It’s time for the Los Angeles Angels to trade Mike Trout. The Halos entered the 2022 season with lofty expectations. Many believed this was the year they finally would turn the corner. The AL West was destined to be a competitive division with the Angels, Astros, and Mariners leading the way. But as of this […]

If last year was any indication, it’s that the Chicago Cubs aren’t afraid to do the unpopular. Last year’s MLB trade deadline was a painful one for Cubs fans, as they watched the team deal 2016 World Series heroes Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez and Kris Bryant. This year, the Cubs are a similarly middling team, […]

The Philadelphia Phillies are in an interesting spot halfway through the season. Star slugger Bryce Harper is out indefinitely due to a fractured left thumb and subsequent surgery. Meanwhile, Jean Segura, arguably the team’s most consistent hitter, has been out since the beginning of June due to a broken finger. Despite these season-changing injuries, the […]

The Colorado Rockies are a confusing team to figure out. After making a rebuilding move and trading Nolan Arenado away (and acquiring a questionable return at best), they let Trevor Story and John Gray walk in free agency last season. Sure, compensation picks are one thing. But the Rockies should have traded both players in […]

The San Francisco Giants are a team to watch heading into the 2022 MLB trade deadline in August. Last season, the Giants made a huge splash when they traded for Kris Bryant. Will the Giants make a loud noise again this time around? With that said, here are three moves the Giants must make before […]

The Washington Nationals won the 2019 World Series. They were competitive just a few years ago. But it is safe to say that isn’t the case in 2022. The Nationals own one of MLB’s worst records and are preparing to sell at the 2022 MLB trade deadline. And Washington will be one of the more […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates are currently 33-47, good for third place in the National League Central. While Pittsburgh doesn’t seem to be as bad as last year’s 101-loss team, there still not headed anywhere near the postseason in 2022. It presents the Pirates, who have called up two of their top-100 prospects in Oneil Cruz and […]

The Cincinnati Reds expected to be a an underwhelming team in 2022. The team had a fire-sale over the offseason that saw them trade players such as Jesse Winker, Eugenio Suarez, and Sonny Gray. The Reds never had any intentions of competing in 2022. And they are expected to be sellers at the 2022 MLB […]

The Kansas City Royals are currently in last place in the American League Central, with a 29-49 record. On pace for their fifth straight losing season, Kansas City must accept their fate as sellers at this year’s MLB trade deadline. If their poor record wasn’t enough of a reason to paint them as sellers, their […]

The New York Yankees are expected to be active at the trade deadline, looking to build the best possible roster ahead of their push for a World Series. Anything less than their 28th championship will be a disappointment in the Bronx, so bolstering the roster at the deadline would be a wise move for Brian […]

The Detroit Tigers have some young talent breaking through in the big leagues, but the unfortunate reality is that the franchise still seems a couple of years away from contending for the playoffs. It’s been a long, slow rebuild in Detroit, but making big moves at the 2022 MLB trade deadline could give the franchise […]

The Oakland Athletics are preparing for a fire sale at the MLB trade deadline. After having dumped off the majority of their talent during the offseason, the Athletics, as expected, are among the bottomfeeders in the league this year. With the playoffs out of the picture, the A’s could look to expedite their rebuild by […]

The Chicago Cubs are fresh off of a 2021 campaign that saw them trade three of their biggest stars in franchise history. The Cubs rebuild became official when they dealt Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez away last season ahead of the trade deadline. And Chicago will likely endure a similar fate prior to […]

The Chicago White Sox have underperformed in 2022. They were not only the clear favorites in the AL Central, but many predicted that the White Sox would win the World Series this season. But Chicago currently sits in third place in AL Central with a record of under .500. But they are just 5.5 games […]

The Minnesota Twins have been off to a strong start in 2022 and hold a comfortable lead in the AL Central through the first half of the season. While the Guardians are still a threat, the Twins’ primary focus, if they want to win a World Series this year, will be to keep up with […]

Most people in the MLB world did not expect much from the Cleveland Guardians in 2022. After being a consistent contender for five straight seasons, Cleveland fell out of contention in 2021. And they made no substantial additions during the offseason. But despite all of that, the Guardians have remained competitive in the AL Central. […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are enjoying a successful 2022 campaign. With a few superstars and no shortage of reliable veteran presences, this is a team built to make the playoffs. But can St. Louis make a World Series run with their current roster? It’s possible, but the Cardinals would benefit from adding ahead of the […]

The Boston Red Sox labored to open the season. In fact, some even expected the Red Sox to sell ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline. However, the Red Sox turned things around now place second in the AL East and are in the Wild Card mix. This is a competitive team that will be […]

The New York Mets are fully living up to expectations so far, leading the National League East with a 50-30 record. They have a top-five offense in baseball, but there is still a need for another bat, especially from a power standpoint. The Mets are 21st in the Majors with just 92 homers and outside […]

The Houston Astros are red hot and look like a real threat to rival the New York Yankees for the American League crown. The Astros and Yankees were the first teams to 50 wins this season and both sides have serious World Series aspirations in 2022. In order to achieve that goal, addressing some areas […]

The Atlanta Braves got off to a slow start to the 2022 MLB season in their efforts to defend their World Series title. They’ve managed to turn things around of late, clawing back within 3.5 games of the NL East-leading Mets. Now that the team is heating up, they’re right back in the mix for […]

A 51.9 percent chance. That’s the percentage chance Baseball Reference has given the Philadelphia Phillies at making this year’s postseason. After a 22-29 start under manager Joe Girardi, the Phillies’ front office elected to show the former New York Yankees skipper the door, handing the reins to then-bench coach Rob Thomson. The team has clearly […]

The Milwaukee Brewers lead the NL Central and have serious World Series aspirations in 2022. However, the Brewers should look into aggressively buying ahead the 2022 MLB trade deadline. Their pitching is fantastic, but they would benefit from offensive upgrades. Let’s take a look at the 3 top targets for the Brewers ahead of the […]

The San Diego Padres are hanging on to second place in the NL West, looking to close the gap on the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the second half of the regular season. If they’re to dethrone the Dodgers, however, it’s becoming clear that San Diego will need to make some moves for reinforcements. The […]
