◽️ Expanded playoffs 'working' ◽️ Central division mediocrity ◽️ Contenders trading with contenders? JimBowdenGM details eight factors shaping MLB trade deadline discussions:
The Angels are not going to trade Ohtani at the deadline, according to all of my sources with the team. However, if the Angels collapse and also can’t extend Ohtani, who will be a free agent after this season, I have a hard time believing they won’t trade him to get as much as they can in return and then try to re-sign him in the offseason.Stroman can opt out of his contract after this season, and if he continues to pitch at a high level, he almost certainly will do so.
. He started to play catch last week and could return in July. But if the Tigers remain competitive, would they trade him?I don’t know if Greinke wants to finish his career in Kansas City or in a pennant race but plenty of contending teams could use him as a fourth or fifth starter down the stretch.
