Though there aren't too many teams looking to trade away players in the American League, the National League features more teams that are willing to let go of major league pieces for the promise of future assets. Here are National League players that could find themselves traded before the 2021 season starts.
Kris Bryant- 3B/OF
Bryant didn't have a good 2020 season, slashing .206/.293/.351. But, that was just a bad year in otherwise a good career where he's slashed .280/.380/.508 with 142 HR.
Sonny Gray- SP
Despite being owed just $20.2 million over the next two seasons with a club option for a third year, the Reds are listening to offers on Gray. He was 5-3 with a 3.70 ERA while striking out 72 batters compared to 42 hits given up for an opponent average of .203 in 56 innings pitched.
Jameson Taillon- SP
Taillon didn't pitch in 2020 as he was recovering from Tommy John Surgery but, for his career, he's 29-24 with a 3.67 ERA. The Yankees have inquired about his services.
Joe Musgrove- SP
Musgrove went 1-5 with a 3.86 ERA while striking out 55 over 33 hits given up in 39.2 innings pitched.
Chad Kuhl- SP
In 2020, Kuhl went 2-3 with a 4.27 ERA and an opponent average of .212 in 46.1 innings pitched.
Steven Brault- SP
Brault went 1-3 with an ERA of 3.38 and an opponent average of .195 in 42.2 innings pitched in the 2020 season.
Richard Rodriguez- RP
Rodriguez posted a 2.70 ERA with 34 strikeouts over 15 hits for an opponent average of .179 across 23.1 innings pitched.
Josh Bell- 1B
Bell slashed .226/.305/.364 in 2020 but does have 86 career home runs to his name. The Yankees have also reached out to the Pirates to inquire about Bell.
Colin Moran- 3B
Moran slashed .247/.325/.472 with 10 HR in the 2020 season.
Nolan Arenado- 3B
Arenado had a down season at the plate in 2020 as he slashed .253/.303/.434 but his career numbers are outstanding. He holds a career slash line of .293/.349/.541 with 235 HR, 760 RBI, and 1206 hits. He's also the best defensive player at his position.
Brandon Belt- 1B
Belt had a great 2020 season as he slashed .309/.425/.591. It's unclear if the Giants are willing to trade him as they may attempt to contend in 2021 and Belt has spent his whole career in San Francisco.
