MLB trade rumors: 12 players most likely to be traded in 2026 offseason, from Ketel Marte to Jeremy Pena

The trade market could be busy around baseball this offseason for two reasons: the free-agent class simply isn't very good, and 29 teams just watched a Brewers roster comprised of players acquired via trade win the World Series. Never mind the impending lockout that will halt all transactions indefinitely starting in early December; all of the factors are in place for some movement on the trade front. Some players who hear their name surface in rumors will stick around into 2027, but it's not too early to gauge which players are likely to be available this winter.
