Top 7 candidates to be traded this MLB offseason, from Drew Rasmussen to Teoscar Hernandez

The 2026 MLB offseason is shaping up as a trade-heavy period, with a thin free-agent market pushing teams to explore deals for key players. Drew Rasmussen, the Tampa Bay Rays’ ace and highest-paid pitcher in franchise history, is a prime candidate for a move.

With his impending free agency looming, teams may seek to pry him away before he becomes a full-fledged unrestricted agent, though his $20 million contract extension—despite his struggles—has already set a new financial benchmark for the Rays. Meanwhile, Boston’s outfielders and Milwaukee’s roster construction are under scrutiny as teams prepare for a potential 2027 season amid looming uncertainty, including a possible league lockout.
