The trade deadline at the time of this writing is slightly more than ten days away. Plenty of clubs are currently in the process of determining who to trade for — or who to trade — between now and then. A bubble, if you will. The Nationals are an obvious example of being on a bubble as they’re only six games out of first in the NL East despite a 44-49 record. The same process probably applies to Atlanta, both New York squads, Cleveland, and Seattle as the obvious examples. Plenty of clubs will spend the next ten days determining their short- and long-term course.
