OTM Roundtable: What to do about the trade deadline?

We are now roughly a third of the way through the season, which means teams are starting to make real evaluations as to where they stand as a roster and what they could potentially do through the rest of the season and into October. The trade deadline is still a little less than two months away, but the general trade talks between front offices are starting to pick up right around now. And so that was the topic for this week’s staff roundtable. I asked everyone to just speak generally about this year’s deadline, both regarding where the team stands in terms of how big of an acquisition they should be willing to make and also in terms of timing and whether or not there’s a value to being first to the table.
