The Winter Meetings are an exciting time in the baseball world with all the action, drama, and trades that take place. This year’s edition is expected to be no different, with several star players potentially on the move, including outfielder Juan Soto and starting pitchers Corbin Burnes, Tyler Glasnow, Shane Bieber, and Dylan Cease.
To get the conversation started, here are six trade ideas I’d like to see happen at the Winter Meetings in Nashville, Tenn. I welcome your thoughts and your own trade proposals in the comments section.
1. **Yankees land Juan Soto from Padres**
The Yankees should consider making a trade for Juan Soto, giving them one of the best offensive duos in the sport by pairing him with Aaron Judge. This move could be a game-changer for the team. The Padres, in need of payroll flexibility, could benefit from a trade even though they would only control Soto for one more year.
2. **Orioles acquire Corbin Burnes from Brewers**
The Orioles, with a strong farm system, could pull off a trade for Corbin Burnes, giving them the top-of-the-rotation starter they need to compete for a World Series championship in 2024.
3. **Rangers add Dylan Cease from White Sox**
The Rangers could trade for Cease to bolster their pitching rotation, with potential for him to improve with their pitching coach and regain his Cy Young candidate status.
4. **Reds pick up Tyler Glasnow from Rays**
Acquiring Tyler Glasnow from the Rays would be a bold statement of intent by the Reds, positioning them as a strong contender in the NL Central for the 2024 season.
I’m looking forward to hearing your opinions and any trade ideas of your own! Let’s get the discussion going.
