MLB: 3 Players That Will Be Traded Next Season

With the MLB off-season in full swing, we have seen a great number of transactions. Not all potential deals are made however, as some teams hold on to the little hope they have. This leads to teams waiting until the season is underway to deal those assets.

While we may have already seen the most groundbreaking MLB trade for the upcoming season, there are still several impact trades waiting to happen. This trade of course being the deal sending Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox to form a dream pitching rotation. Even though we won’t see any trade of that magnitude, we most likely will see a deal that will legitimize a club’s World Series push. Like every year, there will be those deals throughout the season that achieve this.

On a personal level, I think my favorite trade of all time was when the Dodgers acquired Manny Ramirez. Sure, the trade for Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, and Nick Punto had more effects, but the Manny trade just sat with me. The trade of course happened in July of 2008, when I was the ripe old age of nine. I always liked the Dodgers, but never really understood them or took them seriously. After the Ramirez trade I remember being filled with optimism, happiness, and hope that I now feel every season as we make our playoff push.

This season there will definitely be trades that fill other fans with the same hope that I felt that day. While none of which may be on the same magnitude as the Manny Ramirez trade, they will instantly boost certain team’s playoff chances. The teams dealing these players may not want to hear this, but it is destined to happen. Therefore, lets take a look at three players destined to be traded next season.
