My 4 MLB Trade Deadline Predictions

My 4 MLB Trade Deadline Predictions

1. On July 31st, the Chicago Cubs will acquire pitchers Andrew Cashner & Joaquin Benoit from the San Diego Padres in exchange for 1B Daniel Vogelbach & infielder Javier Baez. Why? It's because the Cubs need good pitching and the Padres need a young, talented shortstop and a better 1st baseman than Yonder Alonso. The only problem with this trade is that it would mean that the Cubs got all of the key players in the Anthony Rizzo-Andrew Cashner trade from January, 2012.

2. The Seattle Mariners will make a franchise damaging trade with either the Red Sox or the Yankees that will set the Mariners back 25 years. Need I say more?

3. The Padres will trade Justin Upton by the time I finish writing this sentence.

4. The Mets will acquire stud shortstop Troy Tulowitzki from the Rockies for Curtis Granderson and a pitcher who will not make it up to the majors or will not succeed upon promotion to Colorado because nobody can pitch in Denver
