Five MLB stars who might want to pack their bags

As Friday's 4 p.m. trade deadline looms, here's a look at five players who could be on the move:

Max Scherzer: The Washington Nationals seem ready for a wholesale sell-off, the kind that includes more than just relievers on expiring contracts. Because of his 10-5 rights, Scherzer, 37, can veto any trade, but has communicated that he's open to heading elsewhere for the final few months of his contract. He's the most playoff-proven starter on the market, though teams may hesitate after he was scratched from his last start with triceps discomfort.

Trevor Story: Ever since Colorado traded away franchise keystone Nolan Arenado last winter, Story has seemed likely as the next Rockies player to go. The 28-year-old is set to become a free agent after the season. But in the short term, he could bolster the middle infield and middle of the order for a contender in need of an offensive boost — though he hasn't made it easy for the Rockies to maximize their return: Story's .733 OPS this year is the lowest of his career.

Jose Berrios: Berrios, who sports a 3.48 ERA in 20 starts with Minnesota, joins Scherzer as one of the more valuable starters likely to be available this week. The Twins will almost certainly entertain multiple suitors for Berrios, 27, who comes at a relatively low price point and is arbitration eligible again next season before becoming a free agent for the first time in 2023.

Joey Gallo: Gallo represents the most formidable power threat available. He has hit 24 homers from the left side and is a plus defender in the outfield. He's under team control through next season before becoming a free agent, meaning anyone trading for the 27-year-old is getting more than just a shortterm rental.

Trea Turner: This one could come with an asterisk, as there remains some uncertainty as to just how available the Nationals' all-star shortstop really is. The speedster will be a free agent after next season. The 28-year-old may offer the biggest impact of any player available midseason: Since the start of the 2020 campaign, only one player (Fernando Tatis Jr.) has accumulated more Wins Above Replacement than Turner, according to Fangraphs.
