The Major League Baseball trade deadline is just one week away, and it appears many clubs have high asking prices for talent that isn't up to par.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, teams "are asking filet prices for what the industry regards more as chuck talent."
"The deadline, and the ticking clock that accompanies it, typically helps the parties find a happy medium. It just takes time," Passan added. "And with 20 teams either occupying a playoff spot or within 5½ games of one, that time looks likely to stretch into the weekend."
Some of the biggest names mentioned on the trade market include New York Mets pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, St.
