Skubal Tops Trade Candidate List With Deadline Under 3 Weeks Away
Detroit's ace headlines a list of 25 players who could be dealt as the AL remains unusually competitive heading into August.
With the 2026 trade deadline set for Aug. 3, Tarik Skubal is identified as the most coveted trade piece in baseball. The AL is described as unusually open, with only three of 15 teams more than 3.5 games out of a wild-card spot. Several notable names including Byron Buxton, Mike Trout, and Willson Contreras are excluded due to no-trade clauses they have publicly declined to waive.
