More Major League Baseball players will be part of MLB trade rumors in the next two weeks. Some players will move to other teams, and others will stay.

MLB trade rumors are a constant source of speculation and excitement among fans, bookie pay per head operators, and analysts alike. As teams strategize to bolster their rosters, whispers of potential trades circulate, creating a dynamic atmosphere within the baseball community. These rumors can significantly impact team strategies, player morale, and even the market value of athletes involved.

While some rumors materialize into blockbuster deals, others remain mere conjecture, fueling discussions and debates across various media platforms. Staying abreast of MLB trade rumors is essential for anyone keen on understanding the evolving landscape of Major League Baseball.

MLB Trade Rumors

Before the trade deadline, rumors have circulated that the Toronto Blue Jays' Vlad Guerrero Jr. may be a potential target. Since the Blue Jays haven't lived up to the long-held expectations that they will rank among the league's elite, they should reorganize and try something fresh. Even though he was the AL MVP runner-up in 2021 despite the unjust expectations placed on him, Guerrero has proven this season that he can still be a dominant force in the middle of a lineup. However, he has always been expected to carry a franchise. Although 2024 shortstop Bo Bichette has failed to live up to expectations, the value of Vladdy might provide Toronto a chance to restock for the future.

It has been reported that Chicago White Sox player Garrett Crochet is also a trade candidate. Without a shadow of a doubt, the White Sox ace is being courted by every team in the playoff hunt that needs a starting pitcher. After recovering from Tommy John surgery, Crochet led Major League Baseball in strikeouts and enjoyed a breakout season in his first year starting. According to software sportsbook experts, the towering left-hander has proven he can be an ace and a leader in a rotation.

Other Possible Player Trades

Perhaps the most divisive player in baseball right now is Miami Marlins Jazz Chisholm. Though his self-assurance and flair are second to none, they haven't necessarily resulted in field success. A large component of it has been his chronic illness history during his five years in Major League Baseball; nevertheless, with 93 games played this season, Chisolm has proven his worth again.

Pete Alonso is another New York Mets player who might be up for trade. Once upon a time, Alonso might have signed a contract extension to remain in Queens permanently, but those days are over. It seems like the perfect moment for the Polar Bear to be on the move, what with a new administration in the front office and Alonso's stint under club management coming to an end.

Finally, the Texas Rangers' Max Scherzer. Though it's hard to believe, the Rangers are just 7.5 games out of the wild card spot; thus, by July 31st, the three-time Cy Young champion Max Scherzer might be playing for his sixth different team in four seasons. Things have not gone well for the Rangers this year following their historic World Series victory last season. They should likely be considered sellers before the deadline.
