11 Long Shot Trade Candidates

By Anthony Franco | July 29, 2024 at 8:00pm CDT

We're less than 24 hours from the deadline. There has been a flurry of activity dating back to Thursday night, taking a few of the top names (e.g Randy Arozarena, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Carlos Estévez, Isaac Paredes) off the board. We've devoted ample attention to the likes of Garrett Crochet, Jack Flaherty and Yusei Kikuchi.

Every deadline features some late surprises. Talks don't always get over the line, but we're likely to hear about discussions on marquee names who are less clear trade candidates than are the good players with limited contractual control on bad teams. None of the following players are likely to be traded. They've probably each got less than a 20% chance of changing uniforms. There's an argument for teams to listen on these players, though they're of varying ability and trade value.

Tarik Skubal

Skubal might be the best pitcher in baseball. If the Tigers trade him, it'd be the biggest transaction of the summer. He's probably the frontrunner for the American League Cy Young award behind a 2.35 earned run average with a 30% strikeout rate over 130 innings. Detroit is three games below .500 and 5.5 out in the Wild Card race. Last night's Carson Kelly trade shows they're willing to move rentals. Needless to say, a Skubal trade would be in another stratosphere of significance.

    trading Cronenworth makes no sense. putting a worse defensive player at 1b (how is arraez profile better at 1st batwise than crone?) so they can open up the dh for… Donovan Solano and David peralta?

    cronenworths 11.5 per year isn’t even bad with how he is playing this year.

      Yeah, why trade a super valuable guy who’s perhaps a bargain for $11M AAV.

        Agreed. The Crone Zone remains in San
        Diego. Crone has some played some short too. He can be a Swiss Army knife if need be. If he stays at first he’ll be a gold glover in a year or two. Dude’s a gamer and fan fave.

          “Blake Snell”…I once called him “Ian” on a post too. Don’t feel bad.

          Blake looks more like an Ian that doesn’t get much sleep.

          He didn’t list the others, he just took a guess. Without knowing you could add AJ Minter or Charlie Morton.

    With Megill now on the 15 day IL, no way are the Brewers trading Devin Williams.
