In the event that the Red Sox decide to sell, there are bound to be tons of possible Justin Turner trades on the table. After all, Turner has had a productive year and brings tons of postseason experience to him.
Jose Ramirez could be available at the deadline.
Joey Gallo is a man in demand.
With almost a month of the season played, let’s take an early look at the 2021 MLB trade deadline.
The Mets and Indians have agreed to a trade, sending Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco to New York in exchange for four young players.
Heading into free agency, Corey Kluber has to prove he can stay healthy. The former Cy Young winner has showcases planned for January after pitching under 40 innings across the last two seasons.
The New York Yankees and Francisco Lindor are a match made in the dreams of pinstripe-donning New Yorkers. Lindor fills a need at shortstop, he’s available for trade, and he’s one of the premier players in MLB.
The Indians have had probably the most disappointing offseason by any team in a long time. Let’s examine a few of their needs, and potential candidates.

The Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Indians will battle it out for the last remaining playoff spots over the final week of the season. The american league wildcard race is now the final competitive contest of the regular season.
We’re getting the most competitive AL wildcard race since 2017 but what most fans are interested in remains which teams will eventually end up playing in the play-in game on October 2nd. And what better time to evaluate the teams’ chances than when September is right round the corner?
The Minnesota Twins were leading the division by 11 games as the calendar turned to June. It seemed the Cleveland Indians were being exposed for winning a weak, uncompetitive division in the past three seasons since their World Series trip.
