There are three American League teams that are sure-fire sellers at the trade deadline -- the Chicago White Sox, the Athletics and the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles have started to offload assets, and should continue to do so in the next few days. One player the O's cannot deal anymore, or trade at face value, is their star closer Félix Bautista. "The Mountain" was placed on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder issue, and it now makes every other closer on the market that much more valuable. Those three teams are behind the Angels and Minnesota Twins in the standings, and it's unclear what the two mid teams will do in order to re-tool their farm system.
Angels' preeminent closer will now cost any interested contender a king's ransom
