As June unfolds, teams begin to assess their positions ahead of the MLB trade deadline on July 31. To aid this evaluation, Moneyline has compiled a Trade Deadline Big Board featuring the top 30 players likely to be available over the coming weeks. Players were considered for inclusion based on their teams' playoff probabilities, which, according to averages from Baseball Reference and FanGraphs, must be less than 25 percent. As of Sunday morning, only 12 teams met this criterion, and not all will actively pursue trades.

Certain players, such as Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz, are expected to remain with their teams, as the Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly unwilling to entertain trade discussions regarding either player. The individuals listed span a range of circumstances, from pending free agents to players under contract who may be attractive for various reasons, including unfavorable contracts or peak value. The 30 players have been ranked according to their anticipated desirability leading up to the deadline.

At number 30, Isiah Kiner-Falefa of the Pittsburgh Pirates has showcased a steady batting average this season, making him a viable pickup for teams seeking a versatile infielder. Following him, Nathaniel Lowe of the Washington Nationals faces challenges as a first baseman with limited power, though he possesses defensive merits and a respectable OPS against right-handers. Ramón Laureano from the Baltimore Orioles has rebounded since being released by the Guardians and serves as a capable outfield option, albeit with durability concerns due to an ankle injury. Other notable names include teams that may pursue trade options to bolster their rosters and capitalize on emerging market interests as the trade deadline approaches.
