ESPN's Top 100 Trade Deadline Candidates

[Whammy]

They are ranked on probable impact on their new team (Skubal is #1)

#2 - Buxton (30% Chance of Being traded)
#4 - Ryan - (55%)
#21 - Jeffers (85%)
#46 - Larnach (no percentages past the top 25)
#55 - Rodgers
#70 - Bell
#77 - Caratini
#94 - Banda

I think I agree with most of this. Buxton's percentage seems high, but maybe that's just wishful thinking by me. The guys from Larnach on are guys that fill a niche, which is exactly the type of guys that get traded at the deadline in low wattage moves, a la Ty France in 2025.

Not buying the Buxton speculation at this time… Him and Pablo can be the veteran leadership needed for 2027. 

Ryan and Jeffers absolutely. They will both bring back high quality players in trades. 

The rest of the names? Sure why not. I don’t expect the return to move the needle much.

Based on Caratini's contract, I'd be really surprised if some team traded for him. But hey, if we can offload it and not eat some of the money, then by all means, do it.

Agreed. I just don't think Buxton is going anywhere. I'd keep him unless a stupid ridiculous offer is made.
