Teams in search of hitters have options besides Manny Machado

Manny Machado is going to be wearing a fresh uniform when he plays his next game, and also other hitters will be around the move within the next couple of weeks.

Even after Machado was traded for the Los Angeles Dodgers, teams aiming to boost their offense should have several options to land a major bat. The four-time All-Star together with the Baltimore Orioles was one of the most coveted player available within the trade market.

There's just one Machado, but several guys can bolster a Cheap MLB 18 Stubs team's starting lineup and make a direct effect down the stretch.

Here are eight hitters with new teams ahead of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline:

MIKE MOUSTAKAS: After smacking a career-best 38 homers with the Kansas City Royals this past year, the two-time All-Star third baseman didn't receive a lucrative offer free agency and returned using a one-year deal for $6.5 million as well as a mutual choice for 2019. He has 19 homers and 58 RBIs but is simply batting .249 for your worst team inside majors.

SCOOTER GENNETT: The Cincinnati Reds aren't going anywhere and in addition they'd be selling at the top of their All-Star second baseman. Gennett, a waiver claim this past year, stood a breakout season in 2017 when he swatted 27 homers and drove in 97 runs. He's batting .326 with 16 homers and 63 RBIs this coming year. Gennett is often a fan favorite within his hometown and should not become a totally free agent until 2020, so prying him away from your Reds may very well be difficult.

ASDRUBAL CABRERA: The 32-year-old infielder is batting .281 with 17 homers and 52 RBIs for your hapless New York Mets. He's only played second base this year but started at shortstop and third base not too long ago. Cabrera can be a switch hitter who give a team versatility and pop. He's also slated to become a no cost agent following your season, therefore, the Mets can't expect to reach much in return for your two-time All-Star.

SHIN-SOO CHOO: A first-time All-Star, Choo has 18 homers and it is on pace heading to a career-best 30 to the last-place Texas Rangers. Choo is batting .291 which has a .405 on-base percentage, even so the left-handed-hitting right fielder just turned 36 and it is owed $42 million above the next two seasons.

EDUARDO ESCOBAR: The versatile infielder includes a .271 average, 14 homers and 57 RBIs with 35 doubles for your Minnesota Twins. Escobar can engage in shortstop, second base or third base, plus he's were only available in left field during his career. He's making $4.85 million this coming year and will likely be a free agent inside fall.

WILSON RAMOS: An All-Star catcher for the next time in four years, Ramos is batting .297 with 14 homers and 53 RBIs for that Tampa Bay Rays. But he injured his hamstring and is also heading to your disabled list, decreasing his trade value.

NICK CASTELLANOS: He's having another strong season with the MLB The Show 18 Stubs Detroit Tigers after hitting 26 homers and knocking in 101 runs this past year. The 26-year-old right fielder is batting .305 with 15 homers and 56 RBIs and is also under team control for the next season.

JOSH DONALDSON: The 2015 AL MVP is struggling through a trauma-riddled season and contains only played 36 games, but he averaged 35 homers and 100 RBIs between 2014-17 and it is entering free agency following the season. The Toronto Blue Jays must be eager to go Donaldson if another team would prefer to gamble which he'll be healthy enough for making a difference.
