Eight Premier Trade Targets Poised to Reshape the 2026 MLB Deadline

Eight top trade candidates—Tarik Skubal, Mason Miller, CJ Abrams, Ryan Jeffers, Luis Arraez, Freddy Peralta, Zach Neto and Kevin Gausman—could shape the Aug. 3 trade deadline, with Skubal the marquee prize drawing interest from contenders such as the Dodgers, Yankees, Rays, Cubs and Braves.
