What happened: Yahoo MLB published a list of 10 trade-deadline candidates it argues every contending team should be pursuing. The piece frames the names as the players buyers should target as the summer market takes shape. No specific players, teams, or asking prices were identified in the signal itself.

Why it matters: Trade-deadline lists set the early narrative for which contenders are positioned to buy and which veterans could be moved. For front-office watchers, these previews shape expectations on roster upgrades, pennant, and which clubs are signaling aggression months before the actual deadline.

What to watch: Watch for the full list of names and which contenders are reported to be in on each, plus any early-market reporting that firms up asking prices as the deadline approaches.
