We’ve already seen a handful of trades since the World Series came to an end, most recently a Monday deal that found the Los Angeles Dodgers trading veteran catcher Carlos Ruiz to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for left-handed reliever Vidal Nuno.
Odds are that won’t be the last trade that either of those teams make, as we’ll dig into on the pages that follow. The rumor mill may just be starting to crank up for what could be an offseason full of swaps between clubs, but that doesn’t mean there’s no immediate speculation to dissect.
Keep in mind these proposed deals are only ideas and speculation. Unless otherwise noted, there’s no indication any of them have actually been discussed.
