MLB Trade Rumors

The MLB offseason finally had its first blockbuster trade on Monday, but many more are likely coming before the season begins.

Jason Heyward was dealt from the Atlanta Braves to the St. Louis Cardinals, via the Braves' Twitter account. Reliever Jason Walden was also included by Atlanta in exchange for Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins.

The free-agent market is yet to develop, but it’s only a matter of time until the dominoes will start to fall. When they do, expect the trade market to take shape as well.

Front-of-the-rotation pitchers Max Scherzer, Jon Lester and James Shields headline this year’s crop of free-agent starters, while Pablo Sandoval and Cuban prospect Yasmany Tomas stand out among hitters in a class that’s thin on impact players.

Even though spring training is when you start to see what a team is capable of doing in the regular season, the offseason is when you get a real sense of where all 30 Major League Baseball teams view themselves heading into the next year. 

While many rumors will be floated around, some of which will never happen, it's important to keep track of them because you can learn how a front office is thinking.

The trade market is rich with talented arms and bats who could find themselves packing their bags and changing cities over the course of the next few months.

Well overlook no more. We are going to discuss some trade ideas based on the latest speculation around the game.

With the general manager meetings getting underway Monday in Arizona, the hot-stove rumor mill is just getting started, and already the Atlanta Braves have been linked to several moves. While many teams’ rumors are rumors of addition, many of the Braves rumors thus far have been rumors of subtraction.

The MLB offseason is now in full swing, and with the hot stove kicking into high gear, there are no shortage of rumors to sift through each morning from around the league.

The first big surprise of the offseason came on Monday, when the New York Mets wasted little time signing Michael Cuddyer after he declined his qualifying offer from the Colorado Rockies.

If the early stages of the MLB offseason are any indication of the types of players we'll hear on the rumor mill over the next few months, then we're in for a wild winter.

While not every rumored name will be moved, it's likely some top-of-the-line players will be switching teams. These impact bats will cost a small fortune. That said, a number of teams will line up to acquire their production.
