Bo Bichette

It seems highly unlikely that the Cubs will trade Hoerner, unless it comes after a move to sign Alex Bregman or Bo Bichette. Matt Shaw would seem to be the odd man out in such a scenario, but the Cubs might then be open to trading Hoerner, who is one year away from free agency, and keeping Shaw in the lineup. Hoerner, 28, had a career-high 114 OPS+ last season and won his second Gold Glove at second base. He could also slot in at shortstop on another team.

The big surprise here is Seager since his name hasn't come up at all in trade discussions this offseason. It's abundantly clear that the Red Sox, who have a surplus of young big-league caliber pitching prospects to deal, are planning to upgrade at either second or third base this offseason since they've been active in trade discussions for multiple targets while also pursuing free agents Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette and Eugenio Suarez. Get your popcorn ready.
