"MLB Contenders' Biggest Needs and Best Trade Candidates at 2023 Deadline"

With less than two weeks until the MLB Trade Deadline, several teams within seven games of a playoff spot are still determining whether they will be buyers or sellers. The most glaring needs for these teams include starting pitching for the Blue Jays, Red Sox, Angels, Astros, and Braves. Other needs include a bat for the Yankees, Indians, Marlins, Phillies, and Brewers, as well as bullpen help for the Orioles, Rangers, and Diamondbacks. The Twins are looking for a righty-hitting corner outfielder, while the Reds seek to improve their rotation. The Dodgers and Giants are both in need of starting pitching upgrades.
