The first half of the season is producing several surprises, which means we could have one or more equally surprising sellers.
For now, it shapes up as a severe seller’s market, with only a few teams looking like certain sellers: the already-open-for-business Royals, plus the Athletics and Nationals — three teams with few productive, high-priced veterans to trade.

But reality sometimes intervenes.Corey Sipkin for the NY POSTKiké Hernandez, Justin Turner, Josh Winckowski, Chris Martin.They’ve badly underperformed, but still look like unlikely sellers .
