The trade deadline is less than a month away — Monday, August 3rd — and right now there are only about six true sellers. That's about to change. On this episode of GM Territory, we break down exactly who's selling, who should be selling, and every name that could hit the market.

Six teams, team by team, chip by chip: what they're doing this year, what they're making, and how long they're controllable. Plus: The Rental-vs-Control debate that decides every deadline — why the best pitcher available isn't always the best asset available. Where do you think these guys land? Drop your predictions in the comments. 👇
