July 16, 20205 yr Does anyone anticipate any trade activity this season? Particularly in the early days? A team like the Giants looks to be in need of a ML ready catcher. Teams like the Red Sox appear to be in need of starting pitching.
July 16, 20205 yr I suspect you'll see a lot of impending FA on the teams that get off to bad starts moving around. The returns will be negligible though. Probably mainly fringe 40/60 man pieces as the return.
July 16, 20205 yr Kinda hard to imagine any teams are looking to add any kind of significant salary increases at the moment.
July 16, 20205 yr I bet you see a lot of trades. More than usual. Teams will be ready to dump prospects with 0 play this year

July 17, 20205 yr I think teams are less likely to trade depth pieces because any team could lose 2-3 guys to covid for 2-3 weeks at any time. I could see teams dumping close to ready or soon (2021) rule 5 eligible guys this year to rebuilding teams who are willing to play not quite ready prospects in the majors.

In general I think most teams aren't going to do much, but it will be interesting to see if anyone HAS to move cash out of their doors, and what the premium will look like for those who are wiling to take it on.
July 21, 20205 yr I'm thinking that the Marlins will trade Jonathan Villar before the trade deadline. If there's any position on the Sox that could use a much better player its 2nd base. He's only signed for this year so if he has a good year he should be available for the last 30 games . What he's worth for 30 games and playoffs, I have no idea what the Marlins would want. Hell you could offer something for him now if trades are allowed now.

Yeah the mets are one team that may be an obvious choice. They are trying to sell so moving out guys like Cano (if they can) and Familia makes a ton of sense.
