As the 2016 Major League Baseball season makes ready for the month of May, teams have a better idea of what they have and don't have than they did exiting spring training.
And though it may be early, it's never too early for contenders to start thinking about how to fix the "don't have" part.
Let's help them out by diagnosing one logical trade fix for each contender's biggest weakness. All the season's early parity means that's a long list to cover, but we can be practical. While the struggling Houston Astros are most certainly a contender, kinda-sorta respectable rebuilders like the Philadelphia Phillies and Colorado Rockies aren't realistically contending in 2016.
Another word of warning is that the same trade targets can make sense for more than one team. As such, you can expect a few repeats.
Going in order from worst record to best record, let's take it away.
