We are now less than two weeks from the MLB trade deadline, and with no August waiver deals this year, contenders looking to bolster their rosters for the stretch run will need to act by July 31.
That should set the stage for a flurry of activity leading up to deadline day, and with tight races in multiple divisions and both wild-card standings, as many as 22 teams could be in a position to either add or at least stand pat.
With so many teams looking to acquire talent, the players readily available on the market could generate bidding wars and fetch bigger returns than expected.
