MLB Insider Russell Dorsey takes a look at the potential trade deadline moves for various franchises and which players could be involved in those deals. With the July 30 deadline fast approaching, teams like the Toronto Blue Jays and the St. Louis Cardinals are expected to be active in the trade market.
Despite their all-in approach in previous years, these teams may need to consider entering a rebuild mode with key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Nolan Arenado, and Paul Goldschmidt. Both the Blue Jays and the Cardinals have players who could be on the move, but the most intriguing player to watch at this year’s deadline could be Oakland A’s rookie closer Mason Miller.
Miller has been incredibly dominant this season and may generate significant interest from other teams. While the A’s have leverage in negotiations, they might consider moving Miller if the right offer comes along to improve their rebuild process. The decision to trade Miller would depend on whether the A’s receive an enticing offer that aligns with their long-term goals. While they have leverage in negotiations, moving Miller could accelerate their rebuilding efforts and potentially benefit the team in the long run.
As the trade deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see how teams like the A’s navigate potential deals and whether impactful moves will come to fruition.
