Ken Rosenthal suggests possible early MLB trades in June

Ken Rosenthal has indicated that Major League Baseball teams may start making trades as early as June, even though the trade deadline is nearly two months away. On Foul Territory, he mentioned the need for teams like the Pirates, who are looking for bullpen help, and the Red Sox, who need a right-handed bat. Many teams have already identified themselves as buyers or sellers, which could lead to early transactions. However, history shows that most significant trades typically occur in the final days leading up to the deadline. Minor moves could happen soon, but bigger deals are likely to wait until late July.
