With free-agent prices even higher than expected — $210M for Dylan Cease (and his 4.55 ERA), $51M for Devin Williams (and his 4.79 ERA) — teams are eagerly investigating a seemingly stocked trade market.
Here are 30 top players who could be dealt:
1. Tarik Skubal, SP. The Tigers are expected to listen on the two-time Cy Young winner in case someone goes crazy. But they are a playoff team two straight years that was exactly .500 in games started by anyone other than Skubal. Trade chances: 20 percent.
2. Freddy Peralta, SP. The Brewers would also need to be overwhelmed, but they’re a small-market team with a history of trading stars as they approach free agency. Trade chances: 30 percent.
