Fas of contending teams, what does your team need and who do you want?

Yankees:
Needs 2B and starting pitching
would love to see a package of Brandon Phillips and Johnny Cueto. By taking on Philips contract and having Cueto for only a half a year Yankees may be able to get both fairly cheap. Maybe giving up a couple of AA prospects and a guy such as Luis Torrens (C) who ranks in the top 10 prospects for the franchise.

The Red Sox need to blow up the roster and get as much for Hanley and Peetey Pablo that they can.
Nationals:
Bullpen help, maybe. Rendon, Werth, Zimmerman healthy at the same time. Span healthy.
It's hard to say they really need anything with half their starting lineup hopefully coming back in a week to two weeks. That would get them past the trade deadline so if those four can't come back healthy, I think they should just roll with what they have. It's working out alright now.

Mets Hitting and more hitting
Posted on 7/21/15 at 12:11 pm to JEAUXBLEAUX
they need a 3B wright is done but unfortunately the market is weak there.They could get a little OF help with Upton, Bruce, Rivere, or Cepedas...

Need some rotation help. Could come as a third front line ace, or just an inning eater to shore up the back of our rotation

Wut?
The Sox need to jettison Napoli, decide whether keeping Ortiz is worth not moving Hanley to DH, and trade Koji Uehara. They also need to DFA/trade Victorino and see if De Aza can get anything. Masterson needs to be DFA'd.
For the rest of this year, they need to play JBJ, Castillo, Swihart, Johnson, Rodriguez, and the rest of the young guns and get them seasoned.
Rodriguez has a chance to be a staff ace, and if Clay isn't hurt enough to ruin next year, he's a good 2. Nobody is getting Porcello off the roster, so if he can be a 3 and Miley a number 4... that's not horrible. Hopefully Johnson can show solid 3 potential and Miley/Procello can be 4/5 in some form. Kelly's stuff looks like it can translate to a closer, but we will see.
If all else fails, get an ace on the market for next season.

Mets. A hitter. Any hitter. One that can get a hit with a man on base would be awesome. One that could get his way out of a wet fricking paper bag would be better than what they have

Nats need an 8th inning arm, but Jansen has looked great lately and Carpenter was fine until he got hurt. Thornton is solid.
Lots of Chapman/Kimbrel smoke, but I wonder how their ego would handle the 8th and, if put in as a closer, how the demotion of a solid team leader like Storen would affect the clubhouse.
All told, I agree with those saying getting the injured guys back is enough. The ace in the hole could be Trae Turner's 80 speed off the bench in Sept and the postseason.

I don't disagree, but I don't really see them making any moves to address that. I think they're still hopeful Desi will heat up. And I don't know that there's a great 1B option out there. Plus Robinson is actually showing up pretty well. May not be ideal for a WS run, but that's how I see it shaping out.

If I had my druthers, we'd get one of Cueto or Zimmerman and bump Rod down to a 2 and Clay at the 3. I doubt Rodriguez could be a top 10 SP in baseball, but he could pass as a staff ace on a deep rotation... that isn't what's happening in Boston right now though. His stuff is electric, but he needs to be way more consistent.

Adam Lind or Mike Napoli are your best 1B option
Shortstop you could have more options.... Iglesias if the Tigers are fire selling, Troy T if you want to pay his salary, Freddy Galvis who the Phillies may move, Elvis Andrus could probably be had, and if you willing to break the bank maybe Jean Segura.

Would love for KC to land Cueto.

For once I feel bad for Pedroia... by time the Red Sox get the pitching situated he will be in the decline...
Next year they will need a DH (not hard to find) a 1st baseman, another OF (assuming Bradley JR remains a bench defensive replacement,) starting pitching, and relief pitching.

Sure they could do any of that. Maybe all Napoli needs is a change of scenery, but if I wouldn't bet a playoff run on it. And most of the options at SS are long term or expensive, with Turner waiting in the wings I don't think they want either.
I'm not saying that there aren't areas of concern for the Nats, I just look at what they have, what they have coming back from injury, and the way they've built this team over the last 5 years and reach the conclusion theat management isn't likely to make any blockbuster moves.

Rusney will take that spot.

If I had to guess, they will either move Hanley to first and keep Papi, or let Papi's contract run out and move Hanley to DH. They'll need a first baseman. The outfield will be Mookie, Castillo, and maybe JBJ or some other prospect (Margot?). Hopefully Nava will bring enough to the table after the injuries to plug into first but I doubt it. Relief pitching will be interesting, as will starting pitching. Kelly should transition to a above average relief pitcher with closer potential.

I'll admit to just regurgitating what some talking heads have said. I think the core of the team is ok, really. Napoli is the only guy having a bad year. Everyone else just isn't having great years.
It's been hard to watch the Sox this season. They just haven't been entertaining at all.
