These moves at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline could shake up fantasy baseball -- Here's how to get ahead of your competition

The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, set for next Monday, is expected to be one of the busiest in recent memory, with multiple teams positioned to sell and reshape fantasy baseball rosters. The article points to the Mariners’ starting-pitching depth, noting six strong rotation options with Emerson Hancock returning well and Kade Anderson emerging as a top prospect. It suggests at least one Mariners starter could be traded, making Anderson a potential stash for playoff-leaning managers ahead of August. It also discusses the Twins, who are already closer to the playoff picture than expected (53-54), but could still move high-value players like Joe Ryan or Byron Buxton, potentially opening chances for Walker Jenkins. It further flags Tigers ace Tarik Skubal as a likely headline trade candidate, with the Dodgers positioned as a plausible destination.
