These 15 players with big contracts could be on the move this offseason
We know that J.D. Martinez, Chris Sale, Sonny Gray, Chris Archer, Melky Cabrera, Todd Frazier, Jose Abreu, Ian Kinsler, and others with easily movable contracts could be involved in trade talks.
But how about players who have big, complicated deals that teams would like to trade? How many, if any of them, will get moved this winter? Teams can make it happen with a little creativity.
Here are some candidates:
1. Miguel Cabrera, 1B/DH, Tigers — Cabrera is a future Hall of Famer. It was shocking when Dave Dombrowski pried him from the Marlins in December 2007, and now Cabrera, at 33, is available again. He has had a few injuries here and there, but none of them have hurt his offensive production. The problem is the $212 million-plus still owed him and how much the Tigers would subsidize in a major deal. Possible destinations: Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, Rangers, Astros, Giants.
