Editor's update: This article was published prior to the news of the tragic passing of Tyler Skaggs. We share the feeling of loss in the baseball community, and pass along our condolences to Tyler's family, friends, and the Angels' community. Once again, the Angels are mired in mediocrity, despite having the single best player in baseball. Obviously, Mike Trout is not tradeable. He’s in a pantheon of his own, so much so that his adjusted field value (AFV) is a ridiculous $468M....

After trading away several accomplished veterans in the offseason of 2018/19, followed by Jay Bruce and Edwin Encarnacion in June, Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto doesn’t have much left to work with. Here’s a breakdown (values in $Ms): Haniger: 81.4 Smith: 21.6 Santana: 6.1 Healy: 3.0 Narvaez: 2.7 Beckham: 1.4 Gearrin: 0.3 Strickland -0.2 Leake: -1.3 LeBlanc: -1.6 Gordon: -14.8 Hernandez: -17.8 Seager: -20.9   Clearly the big fish is OF Mitch Haniger. He would bring back a haul....

We get you, Reds fans. You must be frustrated. After several losing seasons, then an offseason full of trades that may have offered some hope of a turn towards a competitive season, you’re back in sell mode again this summer. And all while your best player, Joey Votto, is getting older and slowing down a bit. Sigh. But it is what it is, and if you’re reasonable, you’ll look to sell some chips again for younger talent. All those rentals you acquired this past offseason?...

Will they or won’t they? That’s the choice facing the Tigers as they decide whether to trade their best chip or not. On the one hand, Matthew Boyd has the highest trade value of any of their obvious chips, and it isn’t even close. He’d bring back a significant return, as you’ll see below. Further, they know they waited too long to trade Michael Fulmer when interest was high on him about a year ago, and his value has since declined significantly, so they may not...

The Blue Jays are in the midst of a rebuild that should start to pay dividends in 2-3 years, as they build around top prospects Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., Bo Bichette, Danny Jansen and others. With that as their timeframe, any current veteran who has less than two years of control (and possibly three) stands to be traded. We know they will be sellers in the summer of 2019, so let’s take a closer look at the values of their most likely trade chips. We’ve sorted them by median trade...

The Giants are in a tough spot. They made a classic mistake of holding onto their championship core too long -- much like the Phillies did in the late 2000s -- and now most of those players are expensive and past their prime. They did make a smart move to hire President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi from the Dodgers, and because he was brought in to be a change agent, well, you can expect some change. That means they will likely be trading off many veterans and starting their rebuild in...
