Teams with prospects to trade at Trade Deadline 2026

Key Points:

• The Los Angeles Dodgers possess one of the best farm systems in baseball, with depth in outfielders and pitching, allowing them to potentially trade multiple top prospects without weakening their system.
• The Seattle Mariners have a top-heavy farm system with six Top 100 prospects mostly at Double-A or higher, and while they have pitching depth, they might consider trading some upper-level prospects to improve their major league roster.
• The Milwaukee Brewers, despite limited financial resources compared to the Dodgers, have a deep farm system rich in infielders and pitchers, and could make trades to bolster their roster, though unlikely to pursue high-profile acquisitions.
• The Tampa Bay Rays have a balanced and deep farm system with strong prospects in both pitching and catching, and while not expected to make blockbuster trades, they may execute smaller moves to strengthen their team before the Trade Deadline.
• The Cleveland Guardians and Chicago Cubs, both in playoff contention or wild card races, have productive farm systems with prospects nearing major league readiness, and may engage in moderate trades to add offensive or pitching help without giving up top-tier prospects.
• The Boston Red Sox, after a strong recent winning streak, face uncertainty regarding their true team strength; they have a middle-of-the-pack farm system and could either pursue trades to add bats or rely on returning injured players, with some pitchers like Mason Miller possibly available for trade.
