As baseball resumes after the All-Star Break, it’s time to take a look at which teams are going to be buyers and which ones will be sellers ahead of the August 2 trade deadline. 

The list of potential buyers and sellers is extensive. There are 18 of the 30 MLB teams currently either in a playoff spot or less than five games out of the postseason. 

Several top-tier players have emerged as trade targets. Chief among them is Washington outfielder Juan Soto. He rejected what would have been a 15-year, $440 million contract, flew coach to the All-Star Game, and won the Home Run Derby.

But the price for 23-year-old dynamo Soto is going to be astronomical. The cost to keep him after his current deal runs out in two years? Start at $30+ million a year. 

Possible deals have Soto headed to the Mets, Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Mariners, Rays and Padres. Six of those teams would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, with the Giants being just a half-game out of the final NL Wild Card.

Another potential blockbuster target is Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts. He rejected a player option before the season began and will be a free agent when the 2022 season ends. Contract talks stalled quickly once the lockout ended. Rumors for trade partners with Boston have included the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals. 

Sellers Or Buyers

So which teams will be dealing? More importantly, will your favorite team be a “Buyer” or a “Seller” before 6 p.m. on August 2.

Bookies.com Senior Handicapper Adam Thompson examined all 30 MLB teams and has MLB odds on what they may be doing come the trade deadline. Take a look below.

Playoff Picture Expands Possibilities 

With the addition of an extra Wild Card team this season, and the new playoff format, the number of teams in contention for the post has grown.

In the American League, the race to win the AL East (Yankees) and AL West (Astros) are all over but the math. In the Central, the Guardians and Twins are tied in the loss column. The loser of that race is likely out of the playoff mix. 

The Yankees are the overall favorite to win the American League (+140) and the World Series (+325) at BetMGM

The three current American League Wild Card teams – Tampa Bay, Seattle and Toronto - are separated by two games in the loss column. The Red Sox stumbled into the All-Star Break, losing 6 of 7 to the Yankees and Rays. They are 2 games back of the Blue Jays for the final Wild Card, but have a 3-game series against Toronto at Fenway Park starting on Friday. 

Things are tighter in the National League. The Dodgers (+155 to win the NL and +375 to win the World Series at BetMGM) hold an 8-game lead in the NL West over the Padres. But the other two divisions remain wide open. The Brewers hold a half-game edge over St. Louis in the Central. The Mets have seen their once bulging lead over the Braves slim down to 2.5 games.
