MLB Trade Deadline: Here are the big names likely to be dealt
The Major League Baseball Trade Deadline is on July 31 at 4 p.m. EST.
It is the last day to make a trade since the waiver process has been eliminated which allowed for trades to still occur in August.
The market is filled with pitchers this season, including Madison Bumgarner and Noah Syndergaard, as most teams are looking to solidify their starting rotation or bullpen.
Kansas City Royals right fielder Whit Merrifield is the most sought after hitter on the market, but no team seems willing to match his high price tag so far.
The Major League Baseball Trade Deadline is just over a week away, and the most coveted players on the market are pitchers, especially with a slim hitter's market.
With no more August trades due to the elimination of the waiver process, the July 31 trade deadline is the last opportunity teams have to buy or sell.
It makes these next 10 days all the more important for teams looking to make a playoff push and those looking to build for the future.
Here are the 16 players who could move before the deadline.
