We’re a month into the season and that means that teams have had ample room to separate themselves from the pack. It’s early, but a few teams already have the look of selling at the MLB trade deadline, with MLB rumors buzzing.
It’s the end of April. You know what that means. A way-too-early look at potential sellers for this year’s MLB trade deadline, and MLB rumors buzzing aplenty.
We’ve gotten past the point of overreactions. The New York Yankees 9-9 start seems like a thing of the distant past with the team on a roll.
It’s also pretty clear that the New York Mets are going to contend, as the team sports a 19-7 record a month in.
Teams like the Washington Nationals, though, haven’t started off too hot. Their 12-16 record looks pretty bad in a wide-open National League East race.
While certain teams have separated themselves in the fight for contention, others have not. That brings us to one of baseball’s most exciting times of the year; the trade deadline. If this year’s deadline is anything like 2017’s, then we’re in store for something truly exciting.
Let us take a look at what teams will become the big fish of the trade season frenzy.
