Which of the players will be replaced before the deadline
Do you know which All-Stars could be on the trade list before the deadline? Several players are known who could soon change clubs.
Andrew Benintendi is one of the names that made the All-Star list. He is owed about 3.7 million for the rest of the season, after which he will become a free agent. The 28-year-old ranks in the top five in the AL slashing .317/.386/.401.
Willson Contreras is one of the last free agents from the 2016 World Series championship and probably one of the players who could soon be on his way out of the Cubs. Although it may be difficult to establish himself as a catcher, many clubs will certainly want to have Willson Contreras on their team.
Jorge López found his groove in Baltimore, picking up 17 saves in the first half, and posting a 1.62 ERA in 40 appearances. The Orioles have been one of the best stories in the game, and even though they're only 3 ½ games out of a Wild Card spot, they'll still have to leapfrog three teams to earn their spot in the postseason. Jorge López is eligible for arbitration for two more years.
This season will certainly be more and more interesting as it progresses, all thanks to the excellent players who show their talent every time they play.
