​As Major League Baseball trade deadlines go, this might be the Jaguars-Cardinals Super Bowl of the genre.With at least 21 teams in contention, the uncertainty of a looming lockout and a tepid pool of tentatively available players, the annual trade bonanza is more like celebrating America 250 with a pack of damp Sparklers.Alas, the trade deadline industrial complex must be filled, even as the pool of available players will recede and fill with every three-game sweep, and every calamitous injury. With that, here are the top 25 potentially targetable talents, based on their possible impact, the likelihood of their availability and the fit of their contracts:MLB All-Star Game winners and losers: Philly showed out. Phillies? Not so much.1. Luis Arraez, 2B, GiantsThere he is, the perfect trade deadline candidate: A man on an expiring contract playing for a terrible team and enjoying a career year – what’s not to love? While Arraez noted he would not like to move off second base after doggedly improving to Gold Glove caliber this year, his tune might change once he realizes he has plenty of equity to take into the offseason. The three-time batting champ has, thanks to his viability at second, amassed 3.1 WAR and has a 136 adjusted OPS despite just four homers. Immediate lineup punch for a team in need.2. Luke Weaver, RP, MetsSince June 1, Weaver has given up two hits and zero earned runs across 14 appearances, with a 19-3 strikeout walk ratio. He served as Yankees closer all the way through the 2024 World Series and can fill any role in a club’s bullpen. At $8 million this year and $11 million in 2027, he’s a reasonable get. The only question is whether the Mets will want to hang on to him for their hoped-for 2027 renaissance.3. Robbie Ray, SP, GiantsIt’s been five years since Ray struck out 248 and won the AL Cy Young Award; now, he’s averaging just 7.6 strikeouts per nine innings. But the man posted a 3.38 first-half ERA and had two starts of eight scoreless innings. And a 41-55 team went 12-7 in his starts. Perfect lefty starter rental.4. Michael Wacha, SP, RoyalsIf not for his limited no-trade protection, Wacha might top this list, given the Royals’ 38-59 record and his All-Star season. Simply, no one’s getting deeper into games – and with a 1.19 WHIP – than Wacha, who is guaranteed a reasonable $15 million in 2027.5. Mason Miller, RP, PadresVolatile one, this. The Padres remain a sellout machine and are just 3½ games out of a wild card spot. And a pending sale of the club should be finalized soon. From an “optics” standpoint, not the best time to trade the most dominant closer in baseball. But AJ Preller usually has five or six next steps in mind when he does a deal, and Miller would still fetch a significant return – perhaps better than the Padres having to deal top prospect Leo DeVries to the A’s to get him.6. Tyler Stephenson, C, RedsDefinitely checks the “his team will be sellers” and “he’s a pending free agent” b
