With one month remaining until MLB’s August 3 trade deadline, there are only five teams more than six games out of playoff position: Mets, Giants, Angels, Royals and Rockies.<\/p>\n
In all likelihood, those five will be sellers at the deadline. But who will join them?<\/p>\n
The Red Sox, Tigers, Reds and Orioles are all teetering on the brink, but as we’ve seen from the Rays’ seven-game winning streak and Yankees’ seven-game losing streak in recent days, things can swing in a big way in the 25 or so games remaining until a decision needs to be made.<\/p>\n
As we wait for those lines in the sand to become more clear, though, we’ve got 10 fresh ideas for trades that could transpire, including an upside-down world in which Tampa Bay becomes the most aggressive buyer of them all.<\/p>\n
