The 2016 MLB amateur draft is behind us, and all 30 major league general managers will spend the next 50 days working on trades to improve their respective team's chances of advancing to the postseason or contending in the future. This year’s trade deadline has been moved back to Aug. 1.
However, it is interesting that, as of today, there are only seven teams that are more than six games out. Historically, it has been very rare when a team that close to the postseason would become a "seller."
The National League teams that are definitely expected to be sellers include the San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves.
