Potential MLB Trade Sellers & Candidates
![](https://d1dglpr230r57l.cloudfront.net/images/xlarge/USATSI_20983615_168390303_lowres.jpg)
As the August 1st trade deadline in MLB approaches our look at teams destined to be active sellers, & a few dozen players who may be headed elsewhere in the coming days.
Trade Chance: Spotrac's Dan Soemann has evaluated each trade possibility, offering a percentage probability that the player will be moved before the deadline.
The New York Mets
Despite a league high $350M payroll ($380M+ in terms of the luxury tax), the Mets find themselves in 4th place in the NL East, 7.5 games out of a Wild Card spot as August nears.
Max Scherzer (SP, 39)

Trade Chance: 25%
Remaining in 2023: $3.9M ($3.3M on 8/1)
Contract Status: $11.5M club option in 2024
The Chicago White Sox
Despite a small run near the All Star break, the White Sox find themselves nearly 20 games under .500 heading toward August - 4th in the AL Central, and 14.5 games out of a Wild Card spot at the time of this publication. The #12 payroll in MLB is likely headed toward a fire sale in the coming months
Lucas Giolito (SP, 28)
Trade Chance: 95%
Remaining in 2023: $3.85M ($3.35M on 8/1)

Tim Anderson (INF, 30)
Trade Chance: 30%
Remaining in 2023: $4.6M ($4M on 8/1)
Contract Status: $14M club option in 2024
The St. Louis Cardinals
Despite a 6-4 record in their last 10, the Cardinals still feel too far behind to consider themselves a playoff squad in 2023 (11 GB in the NL Central, 10 GB from a Wild Card). At the very least, grabbing a prospect or two for their surplus of outfielders and an expiring pitching contract makes sense - if not more.
Jordan Montgomery (SP, 30)
Trade Chance: 80%
Remaining in 2023: $3.7M ($3.2M on 8/1)
Contract Status: 2024 UFA

Dylan Carlson (OF, 24)
Trade Chance: 60%
Remaining in 2023: $275k ($240k on 8/1)
Contract Status: 3 years of arbitration
The Chicago Cubs
The Cubs are in a bit of a pickle. On one hand, there’s young talent ready to develop into legitimate MLB production. On the other hand, there are pricey veterans probably better served elsewhere. Chicago probably needs to take 2 steps backward before they proceed forward - but it could very well be a quick process.
Marcus Stroman (SP, 32)
Trade Chance: 85%
Remaining in 2023: $9.2M ($8M on 8/1)
Contract Status: $21M player option in 2024 (likely opt-out)

Trade Chance: 35%
Remaining in 2023: $2.2M ($1.9M on 8/1)
Contract Status: $6M club option for 2024
The Detroit Tigers
Despite positive steps forward (9 games under .500, 3rd in the AL Central currently), the Tigers likely still view themselves on the outside looking in down the stretch. They also hold 3-4 veteran arms that should be flipped into younger players this week.
Eduardo Rodriguez (SP, 30)
Trade Chance: 85%
Remaining in 2023: $5.2M ($4.5M on 8/1)
Contract Status: 3 yrs, $49M, but he can opt-out after 2023
Michael Lorenzen (SP, 31)
Trade Chance: 20%
Remaining in 2023: $3.15M ($2.75M on 8/1)

Jose Cisnero (RP, 34)
Trade Chance: 30%
Remaining in 2023: $848k ($738k on 8/1)
Contract Status: 2024 UFA
The Washington Nationals
The Nats are going to finish the 2023 season where they were expected to (last place in the NL East), but it’s safe to say that they showed a lot more grit and progress (especially on the mound) than anticipated. There are at least a few legitimate building blocks in place right now, and a sale of the team could invigorate a flashy and fun roster push in the coming months/years.

Remaining in 2023: $1.85M ($1.6M on 8/1)
