Coming off the winter meetings and holiday season, Major League Baseball teams can start getting back into the swing of things. It’s been a fairly quiet trade season, at least based on our expectations at the end of the 2013 season, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t moves to be made.
In fact, one could argue that we will see more activity on the trade market now that we are edging closer to seeing the top free agents come off the market. Once teams have an idea of where the rest of the market is, it will be easier to open things up for deals.
To keep you from going nuts with all the speculation that will be coming out, we have compiled the latest news on top trade candidates and what the likelihood of a deal being consummated is. Here are the latest rumblings and grumblings from the MLB hot stove.
