MLB Officials pick out five big-name players who are likely to be discussed for moves in the offseason
Outfielder Juan Soto was the center of attention on the trade market this summer, traded from the Nationals to the Padres.

MLB Officials pick five big-name players who are likely to be discussed for relocation in the offseason.
The article points out that there are “plenty of reasons” why the Angels would have to sell Ohtani this offseason. They are doomed to make the playoffs again this season, and Ohtani will be a FA after next season. Moreover, the article reports that Ohtani himself has made statements as if he has not decided to stay on after FA. He explained that the team needs reinforcements in all areas to rebuild and that releasing Otani would “bring almost everything the Angels need” as “compensation.
I don’t know if owner Art Moreno wants to release a player like Ohtani, but he said that he “shouldn’t” be able to get a player like Ohtani, whom every team would love to have, out of FA. His departure will be a hot topic until the start of next season, and even if a move is not made before the start of the season, he expects that “we should wait until the trade deadline.
The other FA to be dealt this offseason is Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge. He predicts that “the FA market won’t start moving until Judge’s contract is finalized.” Another big name is Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom. The 34-year-old right-hander is coming off a broken contract and has pitched in 29 games over the past three years, and while injury is a concern, “he’s also one of the best pitchers of the last decade. What kind of offer would be reasonable? Other names mentioned were Red Sox infielder Xander Bogaerts and Padres infielder Manny Machado.
