Overview
- Sunday coverage shows the buyer-seller picture remains fluid because many clubs are still within a few games of playoff spots, so teams may delay clear sell-or-buy decisions until late July.
- Luis Arraez is widely viewed as a probable Giant to move if San Francisco sells, making him one of the most coveted hitters due to elite contact skills and impending free agency.
- Willson Contreras has surged offensively for Boston and could draw strong interest if the Red Sox shift to selling, though Boston’s front office has time to change course.
- Sandy Alcantara and Reid Detmers have posted strong recent pitching stretches that have lifted their trade profiles, with Alcantara’s contract status and Detmers’ team control both increasing demand.
- Byron Buxton remains one of the most desirable targets on paper but his full no‑trade clause and public reluctance to leave Minnesota make any deal uncertain and dependent on player consent.
