MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

DH/RHP Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Angel He is under club control for one more season after 2022, a rebuild is frankly in order in Anaheim as they finished 44-61.
C Salvador Perez, Kansas City Royal MJ Melendez has looked a part in racking up a .732 OPS and 11 home runs for the big club. Right time for the 32-year-old veteran to leave.
CF Cedric Mullins, Baltimore Oriole At 54-51, they're only 1.5 games off the pace in the American League wild-card race. If the Orioles remain in asset-selling mode into the winter, Cedric Mullins may well be next.
LHP Blake Snell, San Diego Padre They're now easily over the $230 million luxury-tax threshold, putting the team on track to pay penalties for a second year in a row.
RHP Shane Bieber, Cleveland Guardian Bieber has a $6 million salary, which is already the second-highest figure on the Guardians payroll. The Guardians know he's no longer the kind of ace that he was in 2020
OF Ian Happ, Chicago Cub He was very close to depart in the last August deadline, so he would seem to be an obvious candidate to be offloaded ahead of his walk year in 2023.
