Baseball enthusiasts are anticipating the Chicago Cubs to sell at the trade deadline. Despite having the best run differential in the NL Central, the Cubs are a realistic bunch.
Additionally, there is speculation that the Cubs will have one of the best sales, potentially trading their top starter Marcus Stroman and their best outfielder Cody Bellinger.
On the other hand, the San Diego Padres, known as baseball’s unluckiest team, are still expected to be buyers unless they face a sudden collapse.
The White Sox, meanwhile, are primarily discussing trades involving their free agents such as Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Lance Lynn, who has an $18M team option, is not even guaranteed to be traded.
Despite a lackluster performance this year, Tim Anderson could still hold trade value. As one rival stated, “He’s still Tim Anderson.”
Although there is significant interest in ace Dylan Cease, the Cubs have little desire to trade him or other key players such as Luis Robert Jr., Eloy Jimenez, or Andrew Vaughn. The Houston Astros, facing pitching injuries with Luis Garcia, Jose Urquidy, and Lance McCullers out, are particularly interested in Cease. However, they may consider Marcus Stroman as their top realistic option, along with Jordan Montgomery, Lucas Giolito, and Eduardo Rodriguez.
