Don't be fooled.
Just because baseball's second trade deadline has passed, and swaps between clubs can no longer be consummated, don't think for a second that general managers aren't constantly working the phones. Some of these conversations are new, while others were started months ago and only now are being revisited.
Trade talk goes on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—and we never hear about most of it.
While there's still plenty of baseball left to be played and the playoffs still to come, there are a number of teams that have their eye on the 2016 season and beyond. Sure, many teams will focus on free agency at first, especially those in the market for a starting pitcher. But trades will be made—you can count on that.
From current and former All-Stars to young talent that's just getting their professional careers started, a lot of pieces will be moving around this offseason. We'll touch on all of them on the pages that follow.
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.
