With the July 30 trade deadline looming, we're still waiting for big names to get dealt. Here are five recent All-Stars that could be on the move—and where they might land.
With less than a week to go before Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline, we’ve yet to see the sort of headline-grabbing deals that could reshape the playoff race . But they’re certainly being discussed behind closed doors, and while we don’t have access to those conversations, we can dream up some blockbuster trades of our own while the real deals are sorted out.
Crochet isn’t just the best pitcher likely to change teams this month—the 25-year-old lefthander has been the majors’ most valuable pitcher this season according to fWAR. The converted reliever has been heavily linked to the Dodgers, who could also push Andy Pages from center field to his more natural position in right to make room for Robert, who turns 27 next Saturday and has a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger to his name.
Some clubs have reportedly cooled on acquiring Chisholm due to his perceived brashness and past injury issues, but he seems like the sort of player whose flashy game and personality would help him shine in the Bronx. The 26-year-old has two more years of club control remaining and could serve as a spark plug atop a Yankees lineup aching for an explosive leadoff hitter.
Selvidge, 21, doesn’t have overwhelming stuff but developed a plus cutter last year and could bloom into a mid-rotation starter. MLB Pipeline compares Riggio to a left-handed version of former Red Sox great Dustin Pedroia as an undersized, scrappy second baseman who likes to launch the ball in the air, though “he’s not the pure hitter Pedroia was.
Atlanta’s depth has been severely tested this year, from Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. being lost for the season by the end of May to Ozzie Albies and Max Fried both going on the injured list Sunday. The Braves tried to plug their hole at the keystone by signing Whit Merrifield off the scrap heap after he was discarded by the Phillies, but he injured his finger during warmups before what was set to be his debut.
