With the 2014 MLB first-year player draft behind us, it’s time to set our full attention on the upcoming July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
This is, after all, when teams put their full focus on improving the current roster via trade in hopes of reaching the postseason. And with 20 teams within three games of .500 heading into Monday, the potential trades are nearly endless.
Some clubs will be looking to add depth or to fill a hole on their 25-man roster. Others will look to get a slew of top prospects in return for a star.
Here are four MLB trade proposals based on actual need and published rumors from the week ending Sunday, June 8.
As a standard note, the following trade proposals are nothing more than postulation. They are balanced deals that are fair for each team, taking into consideration each franchise’s strengths and weaknesses.
