Seven Arbitration Trade Possibilities

"That indicates both players will be tendered by their new teams but may not have been offered contracts by their original clubs (especially Dubón with Houston). Essentially everyone who was included on the non-tender list could be a trade candidate. There are a few who are obviously not going to attract any interest at their projected price because of injuries or underperformance (e.g. Nathaniel Lowe, Evan Phillips). Teams could shop"

"They're not the only somewhat costly arbitration-eligible players who could be on the move. There are a few others who didn't strike us at MLBTR as plausible non-tender candidates but wouldn't be especially surprising trade possibilities. These players should have modest surplus value yet still might be better served with a change of scenery or on a team that has more budgetary flexibility to accommodate a mid-level salary. Projected salaries are courtesy of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz."

The Astros and Braves swapped infielders with the non-tender deadline 24 hours away, indicating incoming players will likely be tendered while originals may not be. Nearly everyone on the non-tender list could be shopped as trade candidates, though some (e.g., Nathaniel Lowe, Evan Phillips) are unlikely to attract interest due to injuries or poor performance. Teams are exploring deals for borderline arbitration-eligible players such as Adolis García and Jesús Sánchez, and others like Ryan Mountcastle, Jonathan India and Luis García Jr. could be cut loose if trades do not materialize. Some arbitration-eligible players retain modest surplus value and may be better fits on clubs with greater budget flexibility. Spencer Steer is an example of a controllable, mid-cost player whose hitting performance has cooled after an earlier breakout.
