25 players may be processed on the MLB transaction deadline

Among celebrities, the Bell may be the biggest prize in the deal term. The pending free agent is back to being a stellar offensive performer this year, scoring .304-12-47 with .877 OPS across 87 games.

Benintendi hasn’t shown much strength this season, with just three home runs in 83 games, but he can do everything on the pitch. He won the Golden Glove with the Royals last season and hit the .317 / .389 / .401 mark across 83 games. Benintendi will be a free agent after this season, but a quality corner midfielder in the meantime.

Oakland as a whole knows when to sell high-performance players, it could be the right time to move Blackburn in his breakout season. The ground pitcher had an ERA of 3.36 over 17 starts, walking only 23 strokes. With the rise, he’s matured in Oakland and can make big profits in a very thin starter market with three years of group control left.

It’s not always pretty, but Bumgarner has been productive this season with an ERA of 3.65 in 18 starts. Peripherals suggest the left may soon recede, and he’s still $37 million in debt for the next seasons. However, Arizona can get a lead if they are willing to deposit some cash some other way.

Castillo is the big prize of the trading term, floating like alcohol since returning from an arm injury earlier this season. He has fanned better than one hitter per inning of his career, with a sinker and high change at 90 minutes. Castillo is showing some of the best control so far in the 90th minute. in his career and he remains in the control of the entire team throughout next season.

Colome has been very effective as a set-up for the Rockies this season with an ERA of 2.73 in 34 appearances. Of course, he also has 159 career saves, so he can fill in closer although he can’t miss the bats.

The Cubs have yet to re-sign with Contreras, the last major franchise from their World Series. He scored his third All-Star Game this season, scoring .266 / .394 / .483 at the exact moment when he joined the freelancing agency. The catcher will get a big deal during the season and will be a welcome addition in terms of offense and defense on deadline.

Whether 42-year-old Cruz deserves a regular start is debatable, but he can certainly help a squad like a right-handed bench stick. He has 0.689 OPS in 80 games this season, but for his career, Cruz has an elite 0.941 OPS in the game against southpaws.

Drury is having a breakout season in Cincinnati, but that’s not where he’s coming from. He hit double-digits home three times before this season, although injuries have curtailed Drury’s career. The veteran has been a lightning bolt in the Reds’ understaffed squad, hitting the 277-18-50 mark in 76 games and has a defensive versatility to help most opponents.

Once considered a trump card at the start, Fulmer has settled down as a drop in quality after an arm injury. He has a sub 2.00 ERA this season, although poor control suggests that will likely not continue. However, a hard-working right-hander might be able to help someone before entering freelance work.

Gallo’s career in the Bronx has been a nightmare, hitting 163-23-43 in 468 appearances since he was traded last season. A change of scenery would probably be good for the team and the players at this point, and there could be plenty of teams willing to take the chance with three more than 38 home seasons to his name.

Greinke regenerated himself as his velocity continued to decrease. He delivered a monstrous 4.8 hits every nine innings but still earned his spot as a viable backend starter with a 4.52 ERA in 14 starts. A playoff could be on the cards in Greinke’s final season.

Colorado replacement for Trevor Story, Iglesias is quietly having a good season. He is hitting .297 for Rox while playing reliably defensively and could see a mid-season trade with an opponent to add as much depth as last season when he was traded to Boston.

Kuhl was a pleasant surprise at the backend of the Colorado rotation, with an ERA of 4.02 on 16 starts. There was some reason to be suspicious with his poor strike rate and under 2.00 K/BB ratio, but Kuhl played effectively by keeping the ball in the box. A pending freelance agent, he’s a cute beauty.

Oakland has no reason to let Laureano go with two more years in control of the team, but the high price tag could make a deal worthwhile. He’s usually a solid defensive player and has shown star potential earlier in his career, hitting the .288-24-67 mark in 2019. After a PED suspension, Laureano will likely be on the mend. do well with the change of location.

With an increase in velocity, Lopez has gone from a struggling starter to a closer superstar. He has completely dominated Group O this season with 16 saves and an ERA of 1.74 in 38 appearances, generating more than 10 shots per nine innings. Baltimore has controlled him for two more seasons, but this is an opportunity to sell high.

Mahle wants to forget about his first part of the season, as do the rest of his teammates, but he will return. After posting a sub-4.00 ERA over the past two seasons, Mahle has a 4.48 ERA in 17 starts with almost 10 hits each nine innings. He should be off the injury list with a minor shoulder injury after the break and has another year left on his contract.

Mancini made a significant comeback from cancer last year, and he continues to perform well for Baltimore this season with a 0.284-8-35 record with 0.779 OPS in 78 games. As a pending freelance agent in his 30s, he is unlikely to be part of the future of rebuilding Orioles and is very likely to be traded.

The Royals’ office seems to have been very opposed to the idea of ​​a Merrifield trade in the past. That could change with his struggles at 33 this season, as Merrifield only has a .240-5-36 record with 14 bases stolen in 84 games. He will only pay $4.50 next season and has the tools competitive teams covet.

Oakland had a whirlwind when Montas picked up a shoulder injury in early July, but it looks like he’ll be fine. He’s one of the few viable pieces that Oakland has yet to trade, with a 3.26 ERA in 17 games starting this season. He has been the trump card for most of the past four seasons and still has one more season left on his contract.

A former top potential, Perez is finally reaching his potential this season. The left hand has an ERA of 2.72 in 17 starts, showing exemplary control while allowing only six home runs in 106 innings. His history suggests some potential for setbacks, but the pending free agent remains one of the best starting pitchers out there.

Pham might slap some people the wrong way, but he can certainly still play at 34. He’s hitting .248-11-36 with seven steals and a .741 OPS over 77 games. Age has obviously taken a hit over the past few seasons, but he’s a quality right-handed player.

The Pirates got everything they could hope for from Quintana this season, as the left has revived his career after a few struggling years. He had a 3.59 ERA in 17 starts, finding his control on a one-year minimum contract. His cheap control will make him playable against almost any opponent.

After years of an arm injury, Robertson has proven he’s back as a great closer to the Cubs. He has 12 saves and an ERA of 2.10, with almost 12 shots per nine innings. As a pending freelance agent on a non-competitive team, Robertson is likely to be traded.

Syndergaard has seen much better health after years of injury with the Mets this season, and the Angels are better for that. He has a 3.84 ERA in 13 starts, walking only two strokes every nine innings. Things aren’t quite what he’s best at in New York, and Syndergaard is due for a lot of money in the long run. However, he should be looking for one or two excellent leads for which a few alternative starter pitchers are not available.
