By Jason Reed
With Opening Day officially upon us, trade rumors continue to circle. According to theserumors, which MLB superstars may be dealt this season?
The most wonderful time of the year is finally upon us once more, baseball season. It has been a long journey for us baseball fans, as that final out in the Chicago Cubs’ World Series win seems so long ago. Now, on April 3, a new year is upon us and every baseball fan is excited.
Opening Day is the best day in baseball outside of the postseason because of the promise that it holds. All 30 teams go into the season full of hope, knowing that there is indeed a chance that they might pull off the impossible. With a 0-0 record, anything can happen, regardless of any predictions and projections.
However, as we see teams begin to split off, some into contention and others into last place, we will undoubtedly see superstars be dealt. Every season we see it; at the trade deadline, desperate teams that need a reason to be excited for the future give up their current stars in favor of their farm system.
With so many viable contenders to win the World Series, there will undoubtedly be superstars dealt at the deadline. These teams will be willing to pay that extra fee just to get ahead of their counterparts.
This over-pricing of market value will certainly influence teams to trade their superstar talents at the deadline. Therefore, as we embark on our 2017 journey, who are three superstars that may get dealt this season?
