MLB Trade Rumors: Mets Trade Jeurys Familia to Athletics for Minor League Prospects

Which contending teams will shake up their roster and make a deal before the trade deadline?

The All–Star break is over, and teams are starting the second half of the season.

The race to make moves before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is two weeks away, and teams in the contention looking to pick up a big bat or solidify their starting rotation for a playoff run are making calls around the league.

The biggest name of the summer trade market is gone after All–Star shortstop Manny Machado who was traded to the Dodgers from the Orioles. But while that deal is complete, others are expected in the weeks ahead.

The Mets made a splash on Saturday by trading Jeurys Familia to the Athletics for two minor leaguers and international bonus pool money.

Speculation still surrounds the Mets, as they could possibly trade Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard before the deadline.
