The one player all 30 teams should trade before the deadline
The trade deadline is heating up ... well, the rumors are anyway. Manny Machado to the Yankees! Scooter Gennett to the Dodgers! J.T. Realmuto to the Red Sox! Maybe all these blockbusters will happen, and even if they don't, hey, it's fun to speculate. One thing seems clear about this deadline: It's going to be weak in starting pitchers, so teams needing to plug a hole in their rotation might instead look to upgrade the bullpen or the offense.
Contenders and also-rans have one thing in common: They need these stars, regulars or prospects to deliver big things.
His Dark Knight days might be over, but the former Mets ace is throwing hard and getting swinging strikes in his reincarnation as a Red.
