The one thing we know for sure about the MLB trade deadline is pitching will be in high demand.
Which teams are willing to deal their starters and relievers remains to be seen since a few potential sellers are positioning themselves for a push toward the playoffs.
Texas and San Francisco could be on the fence about making deadline trades due to their positions in the standings, but not all franchises face that issue.
Detroit should not face any difficulty with its decision to sell, as it has the worst record in the majors and it is likely to ship off some of its top pitching assets to contenders as long as the price is right.
