Rays
-They shouldn’t trade James Shields or BJ Upton and could use another bat or reliever and they could contend with the team they have now pretty much, so no deal could be a possibility
Red Sox
-They should trade another outfielder after trading Lillibridge and I’d be a bonus to get rid of Beckett, who I think is still pretty good if he could change teams, I wouldn’t make a huge trade since the Red Sox are a long shot for the playoffs
Yankees
-They are set on hitters other than if they get Chase Headley for A-Rod at third and pitching will be fine
Blue Jays
-They should try to get a starter to replace their other injured guys and maybe a hitter
Orioles
-They need another outfielder, but they’re fin other than that
Tigers
Another bat that’s a great hitter who can hit lefties, but they’re set other than that
White Sox
-They’ve made moves and are set
Rangers
-Could use another pitching arm and maybe one hitter
Athletics
-Need a shortstop or at least a hitter but nothing to big if they do fall out
Angels
– They are set with them getting Greinke
Nationals
– Maybe another hitter at the top of the order, but they have a good team
Braves
-A starter is top priority if they make another trade and a hitter wouldn’t hurt
Pirates
-An outfielder or shortstop that can hit, without giving up Starling Marte or Cole/Taillon
Reds
-Another outfielder or left side of the infield guy would do some good
Cardinals
-Another starting pitcher could do some good
Dodgers
-Get Dempster
Giants
-They got a bat, but may need another and a reliever
