It’s very early in the season, but after three weeks, it doesn’t mean that we can’t look around and evaluate the trade market. Last week, I took a look at five players who are already on the trade block. Five guys who could make a difference for a team making a push.

This is going to be a little bit different. This is going to be about every team and about a trade that each team should make before the MLB trade deadline. It’s not like I’m going to trade Bryce Harper to the Yankees for Aaron Hicks or Mike Trout to the Mets for Bartolo Colon. The trades have to actually make some sense for both sides.

The trades can help a contender contend even more or a team rebuilding accelerate the process. Every team in the league can stand to improve in one way or another. Will these trades happen? Probably not but it shows what areas teams need and how they can go about achieving trying to address those needs.

Maybe it’s a tweak here or a blockbuster deal. Here is a trade that each team could make that can either help them right now or continue their rebuilding efforts as they look towards the future.
