Deadline predictions beyond Yu Darvish: Dark horse, biggest splash, more

With the July 31 trade deadline approaching, we asked a panel of our experts to make predictions about where six of the biggest names on the market would end up. For all the rumors and speculation this time of year, there's only one thing we really want to know -- who is changing teams and who is staying put?

Biggest name traded before the July 31 deadline?

David Schoenfield: Yu Darvish. Sure, the Rangers still have a chance at the wild card, but their odds of obtaining that are about 20 percent, so if they can extract a premium prospect for Darvish -- as the Yankees did last year with Aroldis Chapman -- I think they deal their ace and then attempt to re-sign him in the offseason.
