As the July 30 trade deadline approaches, speculation is running high about potential player movements. This season, the focus is on five positional groups in each league that could be key players in trade negotiations. For the Orioles, their surplus of talented young hitters could make them prime trade candidates to strengthen their World Series odds. The Yankees may turn to their young arms and infielders to make deals, while the Guardians have a surplus of infielders to offer. The Mariners have a depth of young position players that could attract interest, and the Twins may look to trade from their crowded infield depth chart or their Double-A pitching prospects. With the trade deadline fast approaching, teams are assessing their strengths and weaknesses to make strategic moves in the quest for postseason success.
