Last-Minute Waiver Trade Ideas for MLB Contenders' Biggest Weaknesses

Don't worry, MLB contenders! Time may be running short, but there's still time to address your most pressing needs via the waiver trade market.

Up until August 31, MLB teams can still make moves with players who cleared waivers earlier this month. We've already seen Chase Utley, Marlon Byrd and Will Venable included in August deals involving contenders. 

With the parity in MLB right now, there are a handful of teams that still have postseason aspirations. Whether it's in the bullpen (Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers), lineup (New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles) or starting rotation (San Francisco Giants), there are plenty of solutions available on the market. 

Francisco Rodriguez, Rajai Davis, Martin Prado and Jorge De La Rosa are all players who can plug holes for contenders trying to reach October. They may not be sexy, but the teams mentioned above could use them heading down the stretch. 

Make sure to let your voices be heard. Do you want your team to acquire the players on this list? What other players should your team have its eyes on?
