MLB Deals as Trading Deadline Approaches

As the 2017 MLB trading deadline approaches on July 31 we have already seen some action with several deals already taking place and we will soon see who the rest of the buyers and sellers will be. Obviously the White Sox have been the big sellers thus far cleaning house and payroll and getting prospects in return from the early buyer New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs. The Chicago White Sox traded away Jose Quintana, Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle for Tyler Clippard and multiple prospects to start replenishing their farm system. We have also seen a deals between the Washington Nationals where they got bullpen help from the Oakland Athletics acquiring Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle. The Kansas City Royals fortified their bullpen acquiring Trevor Cahill, Ryan Buchter and Brandon Maurer in a deal with San Diego Padres who are looking to stock up the farm system. The Twins also swung a deal with Atlanta acquiring Jaime Garcia and Anthony Recker. So far the possible buyers that could use some help and are the Boston Red Sox Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers. Some teams that we see as possible sellers be the New York Mets the Miami Marlins the Texas rangers the Detroit Tigers the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays, and some teams that we see as being in limbo on the fence undecided as to whether or not to buy or sell other Los Angeles Angels the St. Louis Cardinals and the Baltimore Orioles. The Cardinals, Angels and Orioles all have the same problem as they are stuck with teams that have glaring flaws but are still close enough in the wild card race to not want to call it quits. The biggest sellers if they can find the buyers should be the New York Mets who other than Degrom and Syndergaard will take offers for anybody and the Miami Marlins who will legitimately have no untouchables especially with the team for sale. A team like Boston could really use help at first base and a Lucas Duda or Justin Bour can help in Boston. The true contenders and the teams to watch out for and play on a regular basis when the value is there will be the Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland Indians.
