Deadline Dilemma: Where all 30 MLB teams stand as Aug. 3 approaches

CBS Sports’ Dayn Perry breaks down all 30 MLB teams ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, assigning each to obvious buyers, likely buyers, who-knows, likely sellers, or obvious sellers amid muddled standings and an expanded 12-team playoff field. Obvious buyers include the Braves, Dodgers, Cubs, Brewers, Yankees, Phillies, and Rays, with several others in the likely buyer group; the AL features a “who knows” bucket (Orioles, Tigers, Astros, Twins), while obvious sellers are the Rockies, Royals, Mets, and Giants and likely-seller options include the Athletics, Reds, Angels, Cardinals, and Nationals. Detroit’s Tarik Skubal is a focal point for many clubs, and some trades could occur before deadline day as teams chase postseason odds.
