Baseball — Possible Game Changing Trades

This year Major League baseball has seen some of the greatest players have great years and also down years. At this point in the season all teams will be looking to boost their rosters for a possible postseason push. The team that don’t look like they will change anything are the San Francisco Giants and why not, because they have the best winning ratio in the MLB right now. The Dodgers are looking like they will make some slight changes and teams like the Cubs and Nationals are looking to boost their potent offence to an even greater extent. Anyway here are the key players that will be looking to start fresh in the second half of the season. The New York Yankees are a big seller this year as they boast to of the games best relievers in Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller. Teams that are possible playoff contenders such as the Cubs and the Giants though they don’t look to interested. Miller is easily the best reliever in the terms of bridging a gap between the 6-8 innings. Chapman is the worlds hardest throwing pitcher and because of this is an excellent closer. He is 3-0 this year with a 2.49 ERA. The teams that seem to be the most interested in Miller are the Washington Nationals and the Chicago Cubs. The team that has a great interest in Chapman are the Cleveland Indians. The Indians are having the best season for a while and the last piece that they need is a dominant closer which is what Chapman is. The only other interesting trade prospect is Jay Bruce. Bruce, who is having his best offensive season will be looking for deals with the Dodgers and Nationals. Though the Dodgers seem to be the obvious choice for a guy like Bruce, the Nats are in need for someone who can deliver in both Offence and Defence. So we will see were these players end up and it will be interesting to see if they thrive in a new environment
