The Major League Baseball trade deadline is in one week, and contenders are expected to actively improve their rosters in hopes of making a deep run in October. Here are 15 international MLB players who may be traded.
1. Eugenio Suárez, 3B, Arizona Diamondbacks (Venezuela)
Suárez is considered one of the most coveted players at this year’s trade deadline. The Diamondbacks are reportedly making him and other stars available, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. He was named an All-Star for the second time in his career this season, as he owns a .924 OPS, leads the National League in home runs and tops all of MLB in RBIs. He is set to become a free agent after the season, and the Diamondbacks are five and a half games out of a wild-card spot.
Potential suitors: New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers
Eugenio Suárez last 162 games:
.276 BA
167 hits
55 home runs
37 RBIs
114 runs
.936 OPS ‼️From almost being DFA to one of the best 3rd baseman in baseball. An incredible run ????

2. Jhoan Durán, RHP, Minnesota Twins (Dominican Republic)
The Twins are listening to offers for Durán, but a team must present an overwhelmingly strong offer, according to Jon Heyman. He has posted a 1.94 ERA and 15 saves this year. Durán could improve any bullpen and is under club control through 2027. His splitter, four-seam fastball, curveball, and sweeper all challenge opposing hitters.
Potential suitors: Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs
3. Marcell Ozuna, DH (Dominican Republic)
The Atlanta Braves have indicated that Ozuna will not be the regular designated hitter moving forward. He will be a free agent after the season, and the Braves will attempt to find a trade partner so he does not walk in free agency for nothing in return. Ozuna isn’t having an All-Star level season this year, hitting .235, though his 112 OPS+ may still entice a contending team.
Potential suitors: Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres
4. Edward Cabrera, RHP, Miami Marlins (Dominican Republic)
Despite Cabrera being under team control through 2028, he may be traded by the Marlins. He is on track to make a career high in starts after battling various injuries. Cabrera sports a 3.48 ERA after posting a 4.32 ERA over the past four seasons. He could be valuable for a team needing pitching help if they trust he can remain healthy.
Potential suitors: New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox
5. Félix Bautista, RHP, Baltimore Orioles (Dominican Republic)
Few teams are locked in as sellers, but the Orioles, who are nine and a half games back of a wild-card spot, appear ready to move key players. Bautista, a former All-Star and the 2023 Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year, has a 2.60 ERA this season after missing all of last year. He may alter the tenor of any bullpen and owns a 1.13 ERA since June began. It may take a significant package to acquire him.
Potential suitors: Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers

6. Adolis García, OF, Texas Rangers (Cuba)
The Rangers may buy, stand pat or sell at the deadline. They are just one and a half games out of a wild-card spot, but a poor week could change their plans. García is a free agent after next season and is struggling, with just a .678 OPS over his last 252 games. The Rangers could trade him to a team in need of an outfielder while he retains value. García was an All-Star in 2023 and had a historic postseason offensively as the Rangers won the 2023 World Series.
Potential suitors: San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets
7. Sandy Alcántara, RHP, Miami Marlins (Dominican Republic)
Entering the season, many expected Alcántara to be a prominent trade target. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner struggled in 2023 and missed all of last season. He has not performed well this year, but remains under club control through 2027. The Marlins may keep him in hopes his value rebounds, but a pitching-needy team may make a strong offer.
Potential suitors: Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox
8. Ramón Laureano, OF, Baltimore Orioles (Dominican Republic)
