MLB Trade Rumors: Latest Buzz on Cole Hamels & More

Ben Zobrist, Oakland Athletics

The A's, 11 games out of first place in the AL West, are going to be sellers at the trade deadline for the first time in a long time, and Zobrist is arguably the most tantalizing prospect. He's a solid player who has good pop (.421 slugging percentage on the year) and can play anywhere from second base to shortstop to the outfield. Moreover, a free agent at season's end, his price should be reasonable. The New York Mets were the last team thought to be discussing a trade with the A's, but the New York Post's Mike Puma called Zobrist a "long shot" for New York. The wild-card leading Pittsburgh Pirates have also been rumored to be interested. (Getty)
