TRADE BAIT - 2017
As the trade deadline nears, teams who are plotting jockey for position, seeking out deals to help their clubs improve, while others look to shead some salary, as others take on more and more, in the pursuit of a title - or to sustain their place upon the mantle.

BUYERS
DETROIT TIGERS - The Tigers are seeking their first division title since returning to Detroit from London. The team is seeking pitching or more offensive production, for the club - fourth in homers - is in the bottom half of the league in batting.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS - Dark Cloud has never been in danger of losing his job before. But, needless to say that if the $150 million fiasco in LA doesn't get into the playoffs, the Dodgers might be looking for someone else to run their operations, considering the franchise is "looking for a title and wants one now", said owner T.D. Schofield. The Dodgers are reportedly looking to nab top flight pitching and are willing to part with prospects. Look for them to feed off of middle salary teams that are looking to get rid of arbitration eligible stars they can't pay.

NEW YORK METS - The Mets are back in the hunt! Expect New York's "other" team to seek out an arm or two, especially with payroll at under $70m, the Mets are certainly able to go after some of the better pitchers out there. Look for Toronto to be a player as its trying to pawn off its top two pitchers.

SELLERS
TORONTO BLUE JAYS - Though just four games out in the AL Central, the Jays are likely to sell off their top two pitchers Ajani Russell and Kosta Nikolandis, who make almost $30 million combined. The Jays will command a front-line starter in return, plus cash and something else. It'll need to be good.

NEW YORK YANKEES - The Yanks, seeing little end in sight to the Jersey juggernaut, have decided to sell out what assets they have. Fan favorite and future Hall of Famer Zach Tucker is coveted by a number of teams, most notably Detroit.

ST LOUIS CARDINALS - Nelly and two starting pitchers are coveted by a number of teams. With Nelly aging, they could get the trade value from having him around one last time.
