Analyzing the trade market with 2 weeks to go before Spring Training

Two notable relief pitchers were traded this week, as Ryan Pressly was dealt from the Astros to the Cubs and Taylor Rogers went from the Giants to the Reds.

Yet the trade market -- at least for the biggest names that have reportedly been available this offseason -- has become relatively stagnant, with two weeks left until pitchers and catchers report to Florida and Arizona.

“I think most clubs are wary of shaking things up too much right before camp opens,” a National League executive said.

There have been a number of noteworthy deals this winter, with Kyle Tucker, Garrett Crochet, Cody Bellinger, Devin Williams, Josh Naylor, Jesús Luzardo, Brady Singer, Jonathan India, Gavin Lux and Andrés Giménez all changing teams. Other than the Reds’ acquisition of Lux from the Dodgers, all of those trades took place before the end of 2024, making for an inactive January on the trade market.
