2026 MLB All-Stars Who Could Be on the Trade Block

Key Points:

• Major League Baseball has a history of players being traded shortly after the All-Star Game, with notable examples including Ryan O'Hearn, Eugenio Suárez, and a record 10 All-Stars in 2021 such as Max Scherzer and Kris Bryant.
• Several current All-Stars are considered potential trade candidates, including Mason Miller (San Diego Padres), though his trade is deemed extremely unlikely unless the Padres' situation worsens significantly.
• Baltimore Orioles' Adley Rutschman is unlikely to be traded soon despite postseason struggles, as the team values him highly but may reconsider if they falter in upcoming games.
• Boston Red Sox players Aroldis Chapman and Willson Contreras could be traded if the team returns to a selling posture after recent improved performance reduced trade speculation.
• Other players with varying trade likelihood include Nationals' CJ Abrams and Foster Griffin, Rockies' Hunter Goodman, Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodríguez, Royals' Michael Wacha, and Giants' Luis Arraez, with Arraez considered a near-certain trade candidate due to the Giants' poor standing and his impending free agency.
