MLB Trade Rumors: Teams Actively Searching for Upgrades at 2020 Deadline
The expanded Major League Baseball playoff field could change the dynamic of the August 31 trade deadline.
In a normal season, the divide between buyers and sellers would be much larger, but with plenty of teams still in contention, we could see more squads searching for upgrades.
The Toronto Blue Jays and Arizona Diamondbacks are among the franchises helped out by the larger group of postseason contestants.
Neither team is favored to win their respective divisions, but if they improve their pitching staffs, they could end up in the wild-card mix and may be positioned for a surprise postseason run.
