MLB Teams Adjust Offseason Trade Targets

The Chicago Cubs are actively exploring trade options to bolster their pitching rotation, with talks involving sending Nico Hoerner to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for a young starting pitcher like Bryce Miller. Similarly, the New York Yankees are considering trades to address infield gaps, especially if they land Juan Soto in free agency, with Alec Bohm from the Phillies being a potential target. The Phillies, after a postseason appearance, are contemplating moving Alec Bohm and Taijuan Walker to improve their roster. Meanwhile, the New York Mets are prioritizing signing Juan Soto and may release Jesse Winker to make room for bigger acquisitions. The Atlanta Braves might trade for Jeffrey Springs from the Rays to strengthen their rotation, as the Rays aim to reduce payroll. Lastly, the San Francisco Giants are considering trading closer Camilo Doval as they navigate potential rebuilding strategies.
