As MLB trade season arrives, you will often hear some version of "Team X can make this deal if they want to" or "Does team X even have enough pieces to make this deal?" Below is a snapshot of each club’s farm system to evaluate prospects that could move before the August 3 deadline.

Los Angeles Dodgers: The system remains deep, especially in outfield. Josue De Paula stands out as untouchable, but prospects like River Ryan and Jackson Ferris could be on the table in a major deal. Milwaukee Brewers: Hitter‑heavy with limited pitching depth, key trade candidates include Jett Williams and C Jeferson Quero, all in Triple‑A.

Atlanta Braves: The Braves guard their top prospects, but RHP Owen Murphy and recent draftees may surface in a big trade. Tampa Bay Rays: A deep system; most players are off‑limits except for a few like Nathan Flewelling, who could be part of a sizable package. New York Yankees: With George Lombard Jr. off‑limits, prospects such as Dax Kilby and Carlos Lagrange might be considered if a large deal materializes.

Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies: The Cubs lean on position players for trade value, while the Phillies keep their top prospects, like Aidan Miller, largely untouchable.

Teams will weigh depth, potential, and the need to balance immediate performance with future assets as the trade deadline approaches.
