... pretty much all of them.
I see some trade posts and e-mails going around, so I thought I'd jump into the fray.
For the first time, possibly since our first year of 1984, I come into the pre-season with no one who is absolutely untouchable. I will consider trading anyone.
Yes, there are guys such as Jeremy Hermida (.10C), Ken Griffey (.13), Heath Bell (.10D), Jonathon Broxton (.05C), Ted Lilly (.15D), and Bret Myers (.06E) that I'd need to be convinced to part with, but even they can be had.
I've got a particular surplus of "expensive" players -- high-value guys with salaries right around what they'll be worth. I know the usual wisdom is to cut salary going into the Draft, but there's something to be said to locking up talent at reasonable prices before inflation takes effect. Guys to consider if you've already got a slew of low-priced keepers: Juan Pierre (.37W), Aaron Rowand (.24D), Mark Texiera (.42D*), Albert Pujols (.55D), Rafael Furcal (.31C), etc.
Drop me a line if interested.
EDIT TO NOTE: I've got some guys (including a couple mentioned above) already involved in a trade discussion. It sounds like the owner I'm talking to has several other options he's considering, so it's always possible things will fall through...I can't say how likely it is something will get done, so I can't say anyone's off the table at this point.
