As the MLB trade deadline draws nearer, excitement mounts around which prominent players might be traded. Rafael Devers has already made headlines with his recent move. Experts are prepared to discuss who might be the next big star to follow suit.

Who will be the second-biggest star traded this summer?

R.J. Anderson: Acknowledging the potential shifts in trades, I see pitchers like Freddy Peralta of the Brewers as dark horse candidates for a trade. The team historically has demonstrated flexibility in trades, and with one year left on Peralta’s contract, a move could happen soon.

Mike Axisa: I would choose Zac Gallen as my pick. He’ll be a free agent following this season, and his performance could make him a target for clubs wanting to bolster their rotation.

Matt Snyder: I think Sandy Alcantara is also a solid option, especially after showcasing consistent performance recently. Trade talks could emerge if he continues on this path.

Dayn Perry: Finally, I believe the Cardinals might look to trade Nolan Arenado, especially considering his previous no-trade clause might not apply now, enabling opportunities to maximize his value before the deadline.
