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?

The MLB Trade Deadline is just under a month away, and the starting pitching market could be loaded with impact arms.

On this episode of GM Territory, former MLB GM Jim Bowden and host Trey Bowden break down seven starting pitchers who could be on the move before the August 3 deadline — and the team Jim believes is the best fit for each one.

Could Tarik Skubal land with the Rays? Is Joe Ryan the missing piece for the Braves? Could Robbie Ray return to the Cardinals? We also dive into potential fits for Sonny Gray, Freddy Peralta, Reid Detmers and Seth Lugo.

Trey breaks down what each pitcher has done this season, their salary and how long they’re under team control, while Jim explains what it could take to acquire them and why each destination makes sense. The trade deadline is approaching fast. Which contender will make the first major move?
