The Major League Baseball non-waiver deadline is at 4pm et and with 19 of the leagues 30 teams either holding a playoff spot - or within five games of one
- the list of potential buyers is considerably larger than the list of sellers.
Dede
Westbrook Jaguars Jersey . That, however, certainly doesnt preclude
business, even of the significant kind, from being done in the next day or in
the coming weeks (the waiver deadline is August 31 at 11:59pm et). Weve already
seen the likes of Jeff Samardzija (Oakland Athletics), Justin Masterson (St.
Louis Cardinals) and Jake Peavy (San Francisco Giants) find new homes in the
last days and weeks, but there could be more movement done in the coming hours
and days. Here are a few players and teams to watch out for as the deadline
approaches. Philadelphia Phillies: Ruben Amaro, Jr. appears to be open for
business. Three-fifths of his rotation (Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and A.J. Burnett)
are available, as are first baseman Ryan Howard, outfielder Marlon Byrd,
reliever Antonio Bastardo and closer Jonathan Papelbon. Getting deals done might
be easier said than done, though, with significant money owed to most of these
players. Chances are, the Phillies will have to eat some cash to get anything
done. Amaro will be looking for the biggest return from Hamels, but few teams
seem to be willing to pay a steep asking price. If anybody is interested, you
can imagine the Los Angeles Dodgers will be among them. Lee, the 2008 Cy Young
winner, has led the entire MLB in starting pitchers WAR since then with an
incredible mark of 38.3. The rub on dealing Lee, though, is that history shows
that the return probably wont pan out. In the three trades that have seen Lee
switch jerseys since his Cy Young, 11 prospects have gone the other way. Only
Carlos Carrasco and Justin Smoak are currently in the MLB among them. Howard is
likely to draw the least amount of interest due to age, money and injury
history. Burnett and Byrd are owed the least amount of money and should be on
the move. Burnett lives in Maryland, making the Baltimore Orioles the most
obvious destination for the veteran. Trading Byrd will be a little bit more
complicated, as his four-team no trade clause includes the Seattle Mariners, a
team with the most apparent interest. The New York Yankees also appear
interested in the 36-year-old. Not entirely outside the realm of possiblity?
Amaro attempting to package several of his assets into a blockbuster deal akin
to the one made between the Dodgers and Boston Red Sox in 2012 that saw
Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford head to the west coast. Tampa
Bay Rays: The Rays are on a torrid streak right now, winning 11 of 12, and find
themselves now just five games out of an AL Wild Card. The impetus for the team
to move assets that existed when they were 18 games under .500 in June has
greatly abated, but not entirely. The team will reportedly still take calls on
some of its veteran players, including former AL Cy Young Award winner
David Price, the teams all-time leading lefty pitcher. While the likes of Price,
Ben Zobrist and Matt Joyce could be available, that doesnt mean that the anybody
will meet general manager Andrew Freidmans asking price. Furthermore, with Price
under contract for another season, its not a stretch to suggest that the haul
the Rays would receive for Price in the offseason or even during next year
wouldnt be all that different than what theyd get now. And what kind of message
would it send to the Rays fans to pull the plug on the this team right when its
in the midst of the best baseball its played all season? Obviously, the Rays fan
base or lack thereof has been a sore spot in recent years for a team that has
made the playoffs four of the past six seasons, but if the team does intend to
retain what support is does have and cultivate any new fandom, selling off
assets now might not be the best play. If Price is dealt, he becomes the seventh
Cy Young winner in the last 10 years to be traded after taking home the award.
Cleveland Indians: A playoff team a year ago, the Indians are in a similar
position to the Rays in that their playoff hopes arent entirely extinguished,
but Wednesdays trade of Masterson could indicate that general manager Chris
Antonettis focus has turned to 2015. LOOGY Marc Rzepczynski could be an easy
sell for any club looking to shore up its bullpen, while Asdrubal Cabreras time
appears to be coming to an end in Cleveland. With highly touted infield prospect
Francisco Lindor appearing to be ready to go at a big league-level next season,
Antonetti could look to recoup some assets for the impending free agent second
baseman. Both the Jays and Giants have reportedly kicked the tires on the
28-year-old two-time All-Star. Boston Red Sox: The defending World Series
champions appear on course to be the first team since the 1997 Florida Marlins
to go from first to worst in the following season. The team has already parted
with Peavy and Felix Doubront (Chicago Cubs), but their two biggest assets
remain in starters Jon Lester and John Lackey. Lester was scratched from his
Wednesday night start against the Toronto Blue Jays in anticipation of an
impending deal, while Lackey, scheduled to pitch on Friday, has had his name has
come up in talks in recent days with the Miami Marlins. General manager Ben
Cherington has never been one to shy away from making bold moves, but right now,
he appears to taking a wait-and-see approach. Lester and Lackey are free agent
at seasons end, so its not inconceivable that the team could move them for
prospects now and make plays for them in the offseason. Lester, after a poor
2013, has bounced back considerably, on pace for career highs in ERA, innings
per start and walk rate. The Blue Jays and Orioles were said to have interest in
Lester earlier than the week, but that appears to have cooled on both ends. Even
with the acquisition of Masterson, the Cardinals could still make a play for
Lester. Reliever Andrew Miller could also be available, along with outfielder
Jonny Gomes. Texas Rangers: Few teams have had a more disappointing 2014 than
the Rangers, a preseason favourite to compete for the AL West crown. With their
playoff hopes crippled by injuries and underperforming stars, the Rangers find
themselves in the rare position of being sellers at the deadline after playoff
berths in three of the last four seasons. General manager Jon Daniels has
already traded relievers Jason Frasor to the Kansas City Royals and Joakim Soria
to the Detroit Tigers and lefty Neal Cotts could be next. A free agent at
seasons end, Cotts is effective against both lefty and righty opposition. Both
the Orioles and Atlanta Braves have already expressed interest. Outfielder
Alex Rios could also be on the move. Rios is also an impending free agent and
could be an option for a team looking for production in the outfield or at the
designated hitters spot. The Blue Jays were said to have held talks with the
Rangers earlier this month. Though down and out now, the Rangers dont see
themselves in a rebuild. Looking to contend in 2015, expect Adrian Beltre to be
off of the table. Other players to watch: SS Martin Prado and 2B Aaron Hill
(Diamondbacks), 2B Chris Denorfia, RHP Ian Kennedy and RHP Joaquin Benoit
(Padres), C Kurt Suzuki and OF Josh Willingham (Twins), OF Dayan Viciedo (White
Sox) and RHP Chad Qualls (Astros).
