MLB players most likely to be traded at the 2016 deadline

Beltran is having a resurgence at age 39, but he's in the final year of his contract with the Yankees. Despite limited defensive range, his OPS near .900 will be attractive to several teams.

Braun is signed through 2020 for about $20 million per season, an amount that doesn't seem too outlandish given his OPS above .870 this season. He can add significant middle-of-the-order punch at age 32.

Bruce was nearly shipped to Toronto during the offseason, and his price his risen this year with a big rebound season. He has an OPS near .850 and a reasonable $13 million team option for next season.

Cashner has been awfully inconsistent, but teams should be attracted by his arm. He still throws in the mid-90s consistently and had a sub-3.00 ERA in 2014.

Chapman could be the prize of the trade deadline, converting 19 saves with a 2.22 ERA since returning from suspension. The lefty is also a pending free agent.

Brad Ziegler has already been traded by Arizona, and Clippard could follow. The acting closer, he has one year remaining on his contract and a career ERA below 3.00.

Esocbar has done a great job as the Angels' leadoff man, maintaining his numbers from last season. His ability to play multiple infield positions makes him attractive for many teams.

Garza's rebound after a terrible 2015 season hasn't been great, but several teams are desperate for arms. Despite an atrocious 1.76 WHIP, he has been effective at times in six starts this season.

CarGo made his third All-Star appearance this year and is having one of his best offensive seasons with an OPS above .900. Moving out of Coors Field will be detrimental for his stats, as it was for Troy Tulowitzki, but most competitive teams would be happy to add him.

Hellickson is still having trouble keeping the ball in the park, but his ERA is the lowest since 2012. If nothing else, he's been a reliable starter every fifth day.

Despite recent blister issues, Hill is arguably the most attractive starting pitcher on the market. He has a 2.25 ERA and terrific 10.7 K/9 in 14 starts.

Jay is expected to be out until August due to injury, but before going down he showed a rebound offensively with a .296 batting average in 270 at-bats. His ability to play center field should make him a strong option.

Lucroy stated that he wanted to play for a contender before the season, and he's rehabilitated his trade value with a strong first half. He made his second All-Star appearance and is hitting .304-12-48 in 87 games.

The Yankees have Miller signed for a reasonable price through 2018, but they'd probably trade him for the right package. He's having his best season yet, with a 1.31 ERA and incredible 10 K/BB ratio in 41.1 innings.

Moore hasn't been the same pitcher since returning from Tommy John surgery, but he has been effective this season. The lefty has a 4.31 ERA in 20 starts.

Signed through next season, the Twins would likely move Nolasco if they can find a taker. He's struggled again this season with an ERA above 5.00, though his ERA indicators do show that he's due for some better luck.

Odorizzi has often been mentioned in trade rumors over the last year. Despite his inability to keep the ball in the park this season, he has a 4.39 ERA and nearly one strikeout per inning.

Pearce is just returning from a hamstring injury, and his bat should be intriguing with a .930-plus OPS for the second time in three seasons. At worst, he's able to punish lefties.

Ramirez's best fit is probably as a utilityman at this point in his career, and he's certainly not doing much to help the Padres. Only signed through this year, the Padres are likely to trade Ramirez if they can.

A pending free agent, Reddick is likely to be traded away from the small-market A's. Despite injuries, he's been playing well, with a career-high OPS above .800.

A potential bench piece, Reynolds has received more playing time than most expected. With the help of Coors Field, he has an OPS near .800.

Santana is signed through 2018 at a reasonable price, but he doesn't do much for a rebuilding team. His ERA is near 4.00 for the second straight year, and he should be very attractive in a thin pitching market.

Street has been terrible this season between injuries and ineffectiveness, but his track record should be enough to draw interest. The 32-right-old closer has a career 2.91 ERA and 323 saves.

Teixeira is having one of his worst seasons but has a reputation as a strong clubhouse leader and hit 31 home runs last year. Now in the last year of the contract, the Yankees have no reason to keep him around.

Oakland was able to buy low on Valencia last season and now has a chance to sell high. He's done a great job as the team's starting third baseman, hitting .301-12-34 in 73 games.
