Miami Marlins closer Sergio Romo, second baseman Starlin Castro, first baseman Neil Walker and outfielder Curtis Granderson could all be moved by the July 31 trade deadline this month.

Roberto Perez (C, CLE) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: There may be no stronger argument for the juiced ball than the fact that Roberto Perez has 16 home runs and a .527 slugging percentage.
