The Texas Rangers are reportedly considering trade offers for veteran shortstop Corey Seager, who signed a 10-year, $325 million contract before the 2022 season and was named MVP of the 2023 World Series. With five years and approximately $155 million remaining on his deal, Seager enters his age-33 season in 2027 and has averaged 111.5 games over the past four years due to injuries. He holds full no-trade rights after earning 10-and-5 status.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves reached the NLDS in 2025 and have made the playoffs in eight of the last nine seasons, but their shortstops combined for a .222/.280/.322 slash line last season. Both Mauricio Dubón and Ha-Seong Kim are free agents, creating a clear need.
Boston Red Sox
Boston has Trevor Story under contract through 2026 with a club option for 2028, but the 34-year-old posted an OPS+ of just 75 last season. The Red Sox have signaled openness to an upgrade at shortstop.
Los Angeles Dodgers
A reunion with the Dodgers, where Seager spent his first seven seasons, could see him at shortstop with Mookie Betts shifting to second base, or Seager moving to second base himself. Tommy Edman would return to a super-utility role.
New York Yankees
The Yankees have previously shown interest in Seager. With George Lombard Jr. as the shortstop of the future, Seager would likely need to move to third base, replacing Ryan McMahon. The left-handed hitter would benefit from Yankee Stadium's short right-field porch.
Philadelphia Phillies
Trea Turner is signed through 2033 but has become defensively unreliable at shortstop. The Phillies are open to moving him and adding Seager, a significant upgrade for a team aiming to extend its contention window.
Toronto Blue Jays
Toronto's offense ranked among the worst in baseball last season. Seager could play shortstop or second base, allowing the Jays to shuffle infielders Andrés Giménez and Ernie Clement into more suitable roles.
