MLB trade deadline: Predicting landing spots for top candidates
CBS Sports analysts discuss potential trade scenarios for MLB players as the August 3rd deadline approaches. The discussion focuses on whether teams like the Tigers will trade their star pitcher Tarik Skubal or push for a playoff run.
Why it matters
The MLB trade deadline is a pivotal moment that reshapes team rosters and competitive balance for the remainder of the season.
The MLB trade deadline is looming, set for Aug. 3, less than two weeks away. With such muddied standings, it's hard to know who's buying and who's selling -- and maybe who's doing a bit of both -- but teams are hard at work devising plans to improve their rosters and their playoff chances. Others, meanwhile, are ready to shed players and reinforce their farm systems with an eye on the future.
So who goes where? That's for agents and general managers to figure out. As for your CBS Sports experts? Let the guessing games begin.
