Three Positions to Watch as the Trade Deadline Draws Near

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.
