The MLB Trade Deadline is on Monday, and teams are scrambling to get deals done. Lots of big names will be available for trade as some teams have signaled that they are open for business. Take a look at our Buyers and Sellers article to see which teams are which.

Here are some notable infielders and catchers who are likely on the trade block, and what some potential fits for them could be.

Luis Arraez – 2B – Giants

Best Fits: Rays, Red Sox

Arraez is a pure rental and will be a free agent after this season. He has been one of the Giants’ best players with his contact-oriented approach and improved defense.

Matt Chapman 3B – Giants

Best Fits: Brewers, Red Sox

Chapman is under team control through 2030. As good of a player as he is, he may be difficult to trade due to his large contract. Chapman is a premium defender and a pretty consistent power bat.

Tyler Stephenson – C – Reds

Best Fits: Dodgers, Rays

Stephenson is a pure rental and will be a free agent after this season. He has been a solid bat as the Reds’ starting catcher this year.

Hunter Goodman – C – Rockies

Best Fits: Yankees, Red Sox

Goodman is under team control through 2029. He is one of the premier power hitters in the league and one of the top names on the market if the Rockies are willing to part with him.

Ryan Jeffers – C – Twins

Best Fits: Yankees, Rangers

Jeffers is a pure rental and will be a free agent after this season. He has been a fantastic offensive catcher when healthy and would upgrade any offense.

Jonah Heim – C – Athletics

Best Fits: Red Sox, Dodgers

Heim is a pure rental and will be a free agent after this season. Heim has mostly served in the backup role for the A’s, but has been solid in limited time.

Zach Gelof – UTIL – Athletics

Best Fits: Brewers, Rays

Gelof is under team control through 2028. He can play second, third, and outfield and has been able to get on base at a high clip this season.

Zach Neto – SS – Angels

Best Fits: Yankees, Braves

Neto is under team control through 2029. He is one of the top power-hitting shortstops in the league and has a very strong arm.

Luis Garcia Jr. – 1B – Nationals

Garcia Jr. is under team control through 2027. He has been one of the best hitters in a potent Nats lineup with 22 homers.
