Though contending teams might be dreaming about the extreme unlikelihood that Jacob deGrom or Paul Skenes could become available — “You’re saying there’s a chance!” — this trade deadline is more about mid-tier starters and other complementary pieces.
Here’s a list of 25 significant players/stars expected to be asked about (with their chances to go).
1. Zach Eflin, Orioles SP
If they can’t recover, the Orioles will have little choice but to sell. If so, Eflin would be coveted. He’s a free agent, but they could extend the qualifying offer.
Trade chance: 50 percent.
