Red Sox, Cy Young Winners Among MLB’s Top 50 Trade Deadline Targets
As the MLB trade deadline nears, ESPN has ranked the top 50 candidates expected to be moved, creating buzz across the league. Topping the list are two Boston Red Sox stars—Alex Bregman and Jarren Duran—both seen as highly desirable targets for contenders. Bregman, a veteran third baseman, is on a big contract, while Duran brings elite speed and a breakout bat. Meanwhile, Sandy Alcantara, a former Cy Young winner from Miami, is regaining form after Tommy John surgery and could become a game-changing piece. Other notable names include Walker Buehler, Aroldis Chapman, and Luis Severino, all viewed as either rotation depth or bullpen help. The article underscores how unpredictable and volatile this trade season might be, with even marquee names like Mike Trout and Jacob deGrom mentioned—though unlikely to be moved. Fans and teams alike are watching closely as front offices weigh big decisions.
