MLB's 2026 trade deadline is shaping up as a sellers' market. Here is what the front offices are watching
With the 2026 deadline days away, ESPN's trade-tree audit identifies the league's most likely sellers, the contenders shopping for pitching, and the prospect packages quietly moving through scouting meetings.
*Desk note: Monexus is treating the ESPN trade-tree audit as the starting frame for this deadline, not as a source of specific transaction prices. The headline conclusion, that this is a sellers'-light, prospect-heavy cycle with a short list of credible sellers, is consistent with the public reporting; any specific dollar figure or named package that emerges before Tuesday will require its own filing.
