What happened: The front office is evaluating players under club control beyond 2026 as it considers the depth of a potential sale. MLB's trade deadline is Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET.

Why it matters: Los Angeles has not reached the postseason since 2014, increasing pressure to convert current value into longer-term help. A market with few clear sellers could strengthen its negotiating position.

What to watch: Watch whether Mozeliak moves controllable players or limits the sale to shorter-term contracts before Monday's deadline.
