Top 50 Remaining Trade Candidates: Deadline Day

Deadline day has arrived! The game’s top trade candidate came off the board on Saturday as the two-time defending champions landed another superstar. The market as a whole has moved fairly slowly — until this morning! There have already been three separate deadline deals this morning, and plenty more to come.

We’ll take this opportunity for a final refresh of the biggest names to watch this afternoon. Like all of MLBTR’s trade candidate lists, this is neither strictly a ranking of trade value nor a player’s likelihood of moving. We’re trying to balance the two, which requires some amount of subjectivity. Given how quickly things can move on deadline day, we’re not doing write-ups of each player for this ranking. Readers can find blurbs on a lot of these players on our previous Top 50 from last Tuesday.
