Godfather offers for Skenes, Acuña and Buxton: Trade proposals their teams might not reject

The MLB trade deadline will be July 31 , but we can dream of a blockbuster trade.

Names of three players whose names have been kicked around in (quite unlikely) fan trade scenarios.

Let's see what it would take to land three star players in 2025 .

Two of the top prospects in the sport in Clark and McGonigle headline this trade, with both excelling in High-A.

The Seattle Mariners have nine prospects on MLB.com 's top 100 , more than any other team.

The Mariners have a loaded farm system with nine players on the list.

For the Mariners, Acuña would fit nicely at the top of the order or hitting second in front of Cal Raleigh .

The Phillies, Reds and Royals all could use an outfielder to add some punch to their lineups.

The Royals' challenge trade with Ragans is intriguing but risky for Minnesota , given he's on the injured list right now because of a rotator cuff strain. Plus, intra-division trades are hard to pull off. The Twins would want Chase Burns from the Reds , but that's probably a nonstarter for Cincinnati . Will we get some surprise spicy deals this trade deadline? Will it just be the usual list of free-agents-to-be and relief pitchers? In a season that remains so wide open, the time might be right for some outside-the-box movement..
