We are now getting deep into the MLB season, with the All-Star Game just over a month away and the MLB Trade Deadline less than two months away on August 3. We are going to start seeing some big trades that will have a significant impact on your fantasy baseball league.
While we often focus on buyers and sellers, sometimes two buyers or two sellers can make a deal with each other in an attempt to benefit both teams on the same timeline. The two first-place teams we could see striking a deal are the Seattle Mariners and the Atlanta Braves.
The Mariners have run a six-man rotation for much of this season, with Luis Castillo being the weakest link. However, he's also making more than $24 million per year, and they are on the hook for him through 2028. They are going to look to move him before the deadline if possible.
If there is a GM who loves to take shots on once-great aging pitchers that he can buy low on, it's Alex Anthopoulos. The Braves just so happen to have some players that they could stand to move on from, too.
