We're less than a week from the MLB trade deadline and still in search of our first summer blockbuster deal. While we wait for the trades that will define this deadline to occur, we asked ESPN MLB experts Bradford Doolittle and David Schoenfield to share the deals they most want to see.
Where do Shohei Ohtani, Max Scherzer, Nolan Arenado and other stars land in their proposals? It's time to find out. The Los Angeles Angels should trade Shohei Ohtani (DH) and Shohei Ohtani (RHP) to the… San Francisco Giants Doolittle: The conceit with this annual bit is very much trades we'd like to see as opposed to trades we've heard might happen or trades that might well happen in this version of the multiverse.
While I would love to see what this Giants team would do with an infusion of Ohtani-level star power, it just doesn't seem like the kind of deal Farhan Zaidi would do.
Will the Giants pursue Ohtani over the winter? I think so. But I just don't see Zaidi blasting away the in-season market for a mere two months (plus October) of the game's biggest star.
