MLB trade candidates: Top 25 players who could be moved before 2025 season and their potential landing spots

The 2024-25 MLB offseason has begun with the Braves trading Jorge Soler to the Angels for Griffin Canning. The top 25 free agents include Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes. The White Sox are expected to trade Crochet and Robert. Teams like the Giants and Phillies are possible landing spots for Robert. The Brewers may trade Williams due to his impending free agency. The Rays are likely to trade expensive players like Jeffrey Springs. Possible landing spots for Rays players include the Astros and Yankees. The D-backs faced an unusual offseason start with Montgomery exercising his player option despite a poor performance. Arizona may benefit from trading Montgomery, potentially to the Red Sox or Padres. The Red Sox, with a left-handed heavy lineup, could look to trade some of their lefty hitters for pitching, possibly to teams like the Mariners or Cardinals. The Cardinals are also looking to trade Gray and Helsley, with potential landing spots being the Reds, Orioles, or Nationals. The Marlins have valuable players like Luzardo who could be traded to teams like the Rangers or Twins. Rooker, a standout hitter, may be traded by the A’s to teams like the Phillies or Blue Jays. Teams may be looking to make moves in the upcoming season, with potential trades involving players like Jonathan India, Josh Naylor, Adolis García, Jorge Mateo, Ryan Mountcastle, Jameson Taillon, and Nico Hoerner. Potential landing spots for these players include teams like the Giants, Pirates, Yankees, Mariners, and more. The Orioles, Rangers, and Cubs are among the teams that may be looking to consolidate talent and make changes to their rosters. The Chicago Cubs are not likely to actively shop Nico Hoerner, while they may aggressively try to move Jameson Taillon. Possible landing spots for Taillon include the Mets, Rangers, and Red Sox. The Dodgers, Yankees, and possibly the Blue Jays could be interested in Hoerner. The Yankees may look to trade Nestor Cortes Jr. and Donny Trevino in the offseason to reduce payroll, with potential landing spots including the Padres, Rangers, Reds, and Twins. The Angels may consider trading Luis Rengifo and Taylor Ward to improve their team, with potential landing spots for Ward including the Royals, Astros, Blue Jays, Reds, and Yankees. Sean Doolittle might be available for trade by the Washington Nationals, with limited possible landing spots due to his expensive contract. The Mets may look to trade Brett Baty for value, with potential landing spots including the Athletics, Marlins, White Sox, and Brewers. Lastly, Alec Bohm’s struggles towards the end of the season may make him a trade candidate, with potential landing spots unclear. The Phillies may consider moving Bohm as part of a larger series of moves, potentially signing Alex Bregman and acquiring pitching or prospects. Possible landing spots for Bohm include the Yankees, Blue Jays, Royals, and Diamondbacks. Bichette’s future with the Blue Jays is uncertain, with potential interest from teams like the Giants, Guardians, Rays, and Padres, especially with Willy Adames available in free agency.
