MLB trade deadline: Position-by-position look at teams with holes to fill -- and who might be available

One baseball-related consequence of the COVID-19 crisis is that the approaching trade deadline has more uncertainty than any deadline that has come before -- so much uncertainty, in fact, that as the end-of-the-month deadline creeps closer, our traditional dichotomy of "buyer" and "seller" doesn't seem to hold up. Instead, as you apply all the factors of uncertainty to possible deals, you come away thinking that the likely outcome of this year's deadline will be complete transactional paralysis.

Does that mean we won't see any trades? That could turn out to be exactly what happens, beyond the inevitable bottom-of-the-roster swap or two.
