5 Teams Already Looking Like Sellers + The Tarik Skubal Debate

Welcome to GM Territory! Former Big League executive and FT Resident GM Jim Bowden hosts with his son Trey.

This week, the Bowdens break down the first teams that could emerge as sellers ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline and debate which players could generate the biggest returns on the trade market.

Jim and Trey rank their Top 5 teams most likely to sell, including the Angels, Rockies, Giants, Royals, and Tigers. They examine the most intriguing trade chips from each club, including Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, Robbie Ray, Matt Chapman, Rafael Devers, Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, Lucas Erceg, Mickey Moniak, Tomoyuki Sugano, Antonio Senzatela, and more.

The duo also discusses three additional teams to monitor if they fall out of contention: the Twins (Joe Ryan), Marlins (Sandy Alcantara), and Mets (Freddy Peralta). Jim provides a front-office perspective on how teams determine whether to buy or sell, what contenders are looking for at this stage of the season, and which players could become some of the most sought-after names on the market.

Would the Tigers actually consider trading Tarik Skubal? Could Buster Posey move stars if the Giants slide in the standings? And which veteran pitchers could have the biggest impact on the playoff race if they’re dealt?
