1. Colorado Rockies

Trevor Story is the big name to keep your eye on from the Colorado Rockies. Teams have been waiting for the Rockies to move him and are surprised he’s stuck around this long. He’s having a bit of a down season, hitting just .242 with an on-base percentage of .313, but he has all the skills necessary to turn it around quickly.

It was recently reported that one of the teams in on Story could want to move him to centerfield if they acquire him. He’s never played there in his MLB career, but has elite speed and arm strength that makes you at least think he could hold his own. It would make sense if the Brewers are that team, as they already have Willy Adames on their roster.

Jon Gray is the other Rockies’ player who should be tradeable. In 18 starts this season, he’s posted a 3.67 ERA and would be a nice addition as the fourth starter in Milwaukee. The Brewers currently have a terrific trio of starters, but would need a fourth quality one if they want to win any playoff series. Gray could be their man.
