Having spent lavishly, both in cash and prospects, to bolster their pitching staffs, teams are finally beginning to turn their attention to the bats that remain available this offseason.
While free-agent outfielders such as Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Gordon and Gerardo Parra have been the subject of increased chatter on the rumor mill, teams are also looking to the trade market as a way to bolster their respective lineups, with an eye on potentially available outfielders as well.
With a handful of teams either already deep into the rebuilding process or just getting things underway, there could be some bargains to be had via trade, especially when you consider the draft pick compensation and high salaries the top available free agents will cost an interested club.
Keep in mind these proposed deals are only ideas and pure speculation. Unless otherwise noted, there's no indication any of them have actually been discussed.
