While most of the baseball world is still trying to comprehend Giancarlo Stanton's superhuman performance in the 2016 Home Run Derby, general managers have been busy working the phones and laying the groundwork for deals that will take place over the next two-and-a-half weeks.
It's officially trade season, the most wonderful time of the year. With the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline quickly approaching, we've already begun to see things pick up in the rumor mill.
But that pales in comparison to the speculation that will make the rounds in the days ahead, when it will appear that Billy Hamilton, rather than a gerbil, is running on the wheel that powers the trade winds around baseball.
Keep in mind that these proposed deals are only ideas and pure speculation. Unless otherwise noted, there's no indication that any of them have actually been discussed.
