Predictions are a lot like trades. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't.
But that doesn't stop teams from swinging deals or pundits and statisticians from predicting the future, so you can be sure it's not going to stop us, either. And what better prediction to make than which players will be traded between Memorial Day weekend and baseball's Aug. 1 trade deadline.
That's will be traded, not might be traded.
To be sure, this list would look significantly different two weeks from now. You won't find injured players like Oakland's Sonny Gray or Josh Reddick on the pages that follow, two players that, were they healthy, would have had a great chance to make the cut.
