Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi of the Texas Rangers could become popular trade targets this summer. The Rangers, currently 1.5 games behind a Wild Card spot and 2.0 games back in the AL West, might consider selling despite their playoff contention. Trade discussions may be complicated due to the significant contracts of both pitchers, with deGrom signed through 2027 for $185 million and Eovaldi also under contract through 2027 for $75 million. Some reports suggest the team may need to eat part of these contracts to facilitate any potential trades, highlighting the challenges ahead as the July trade deadline approaches.

- •DeGrom and Eovaldi both under contract until 2027.
