MLB Trade Deadline Strategies Evolving

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, several teams are actively seeking to improve their rosters. The Atlanta Braves, trailing the Phillies by 7.5 games, are considering trading for veteran pitcher Max Scherzer to bolster their starting rotation. The Chicago Cubs might trade veteran reliever Héctor Neris, who could be valuable in a contender's bullpen. Meanwhile, the Washington Nationals are likely to sell players like Jesse Winker and Lane Thomas to further their rebuild. The Cleveland Guardians, leading the AL Central, are looking to strengthen their roster for a postseason push, possibly trading some top prospects. Additionally, the Minnesota Twins, currently holding a Wild Card spot, are expected to add talent to remain competitive.
