The MLB trade deadline is the time when a team can bolster its roster for a potential World Series run and also upgrade its future. While we never know what might happen by the August 4 deadline, we do know that there are quite a few names floating around who could be impact makers for a team hoping to be the last club standing in October.
On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman preview the upcoming trade deadline, including whether the Detroit Tigers will actually trade ace Tarik Skubal and whether the San Diego Padres, despite still being in the Wild Card race, will ship out their flamethrowing closer, Mason Miller. They also examine whether a hitter better than the San Francisco Giants' Luis Arráez will be moved and how many postseason-caliber starting pitchers will be acquired.
Later in the show, Jake and Jordan make their picks for which teams will be the most aggressive this trade season, either by buying or selling, and which teams will have to make the difficult decision to stand pat with the roster they have. They also explain why the New York Mets' David Stearns might be the most critical figure at this deadline and discuss the one big piece the Washington Nationals must decide whether to keep or trade away.
