The 2021 MLB trade deadline is still months away, but fans and scouts alike are already eyeing up the potential trade market in an attempt to see how their teams can improve their fortunes.
The trade deadline is July 30, so there is plenty of time. May and June trades aren't unheard of (hello, Jerry Dipoto!), but realistically, the market won't move until early to mid-July when teams start to gain separation in the standings.
It's tough to gauge how active or inactive teams will be this year given the strange circumstances surrounding season No. 2 of pandemic ball.
