The upcoming 2024 MLB trade deadline is less than three weeks away! Some trades have already taken place, with more expected in the next 19 days. Front offices in today’s MLB tend to wait until the last minute to make significant decisions, including trades. The final weeks of July are usually chaotic with major transactions.
Each year, MLBTR takes a look at the top names on the trade market. The rankings are subjective, weighing both the likelihood of a deal and the impact of the player. The top names are those expected to move and have a significant impact on the acquiring team. This list is a collaborative effort, thanks to Anthony Franco and Darragh McDonald’s input.
1. Jack Flaherty, RHP, Tigers
Flaherty is one of the top rental arms on the trade market with stellar performance this season. He is expected to command a strong return due to his standout pitching. The Tigers have no pressure to trade him, but he could fetch a top prospect.
