Other teams to watch at MLB trade deadline

The entire AL East is in play for the postseason. Boston sold off Kiké Hernandez and Chris Flexen so maybe they are not interested in buying but the Yankees, Blue Jays and Rays will be players.

The Phillies and Marlins will make moves for their shot at the Wild Card since the NL East is all but wrapped up.

The Dodgers, Giants and Diamondbacks could all use another piece or two to give themselves a chance of knocking off the Braves when it matters.

Will Cincinnati be content with making the playoffs with their youth or will they get serious about overtaking the Brewers in the division?

Are the Mariners going to buy or sell in the AL West while the Astros and Angels push forward behind the Rangers?

The Detroit Tigers do not have a lot to offer but Eduardo Rodriguez and Michael Lorenzen will be sought after pieces for contenders looking to fortify their rotation.
