MLB stars expected to enter trade market this offseason

Following the conclusion of the 2026 MLB regular season, several high-profile players are expected to be on the trade market as teams reorganize for the 2027 season.

Among the potential movers are Seattle Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert, who has one year remaining on his contract, and Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan. In San Francisco, the Giants may consider trading third baseman Matt Chapman following his season-ending core muscle surgery and the emergence of prospect Casey Schmitt.

The Cincinnati Reds are also facing offseason decisions after a disappointing 75-win season that saw them finish last in the National League Central. Outfielder JJ Bleday, who hit for the cycle in August, is noted as a potential candidate for trade as the team looks to address its outfield needs.
