Seven weeks. That's how much time each of baseball's 30 franchises have to figure out whether they're contenders or pretenders, buyers or sellers, before baseball's Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline arrives.
Normally, we'd still be trying to figure out which team belongs in which category as well. But aside from one club—the Miami Marlins—we've got a pretty good idea as to who should be buying and who should be selling.
That's an immense help when it comes to establishing priorities for each team as the deadline approaches. What follows is just that—a to-do list for each team in the weeks ahead.
Some teams have specific goals listed, such as "add a starting pitcher" or "trade Player X." Others have more vague priorities, including "explore the market for outfielders" or "keep their options open." Some have multiple things to check off those lists, while others have only one thing to think about.
What should your favorite team be focused on as one of the season's most exciting moments—trade deadline time—draws near? Let's take a look.
