The most obvious MLB trade candidates each year are players who are headed for free agency and performing well for teams that have slipped out of contention and are poised to sell at the deadline.

Former MLB Exec Says Red Sox 'Would Love' to Land Rays' Yandy Diaz originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox are gearing up as buyers at the trade deadline. While they could still trade Jarren Duran, the Red Sox want to add a starting pitcher and a first baseman at the deadline.

Colson Montgomery hit a three-run homer in the second inning and a two-run double in the eighth, rallying the Chicago White Sox to an 11-9 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.

The vote, which is scheduled for Thursday, comes at a precarious time for the team as talks surrounding a potential sale intensify.

A metric that shows Rays shortstop Taylor Walls as the best defender at his position also shows his double-play partner as the worst at his.

With eight days left until the July 31 trade deadline, things can quickly shift from one direction to the next as teams win or lose.

Shortstop Colson Montgomery drove in a team-high five runs, and fellow rookie Kyle Teel had a career-high four hits in the win.

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays have been tied to one another in a rare in-division deal.
