One Week Out, MLB's Buyer-Seller Landscape Takes Shape Ahead of the Deadline
With seven days until the Aug. 3 trade deadline, the market skews toward buyers. The obvious buyers are the Braves, Cubs, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, Phillies and Rays, with many others (Diamondbacks, Red Sox, White Sox, Guardians, Astros, Pirates, Padres, Mariners, Rangers) also positioned to buy. Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals and Toronto Blue Jays are likely sellers, while Athletics, Rockies, Royals, Angels, Mets and Giants are obvious sellers. Orioles, Tigers, Marlins, Twins and Nationals sit in flux, weighing immediate contention against longer-term plans. No team is safely out of it, keeping the final week unpredictable and active.
