Lineups all over Major League Baseball are about to change in a big way with the July 30 trade deadline just a few days away.

Contenders will address their primary weaknesses. Basement dwellers will unload some (or all) of their top assets. The divide between the haves and the have-nots will grow wider.

To this point in the 2024 season, though, how do the 30 offenses stack up?

Though "Starting 9" is specifically in the headline, we aren't looking at just the nine players from each team who have made the most starts in July or anything like that. Full-season, full-roster numbers are the driving force here, so there are several cases where we'll discuss players currently on the IL or no longer even on the roster.

For each of the 30 teams, we'll highlight both a most valuable player and a least valuable player. Again, though, rankings were based on full-team numbers, not just who has the highest highs and/or the lowest lows.

Nos. 30-28: Chicago White Sox, Miami Marlins and Seattle Mariners

30. Chicago White Sox

MVP: Luis Robert Jr.—Hasn't even played in 50 games, but still leads the team in both OPS and stolen bases by a considerable margin. As bad as this offense has been, things will get even worse if he gets traded.

LVP: Andrew Benintendi—Probably could've just gone with "everyone other than Robert" here, but Benintendi batting .196 and slugging .309 in the second season of his five-year, $75M deal is maybe the biggest reason we don't expect to see the light at the end of this rebuilding tunnel any time soon.

29. Miami Marlins

MVP: Jazz Chisholm Jr.—Just like Robert above, this oft-injured center fielder leads his team in both OPS and stolen bases, and is by far this woeful team's top trade chip with several years of team control still to come.

LVP: Tim Anderson—Gone but not forgotten, the Marlins DFA'd Anderson earlier this month with an OPS+ of 30. Among players with at least 150 plate appearances this season, only Detroit's Javier Báez (26) has been worse. Miami took a flier on Anderson this offseason thinking he couldn't possibly be worse than he was in 2023. He was.

28. Seattle Mariners

MVP: Cal Raleigh—A lite, backstop version of 2022-23 Kyle Schwarber, Raleigh is lapping the M's field for team lead in both HR and RBI despite barely batting .200.

LVP: Jorge Polanco—Seattle gave up four players and $8M to get Polanco from the Twins in what has aged into perhaps the worst move any team made this offseason. He's not quite as expensive (or nearly the long-term commitment) for the Mariners as Benintendi is for the White Sox, but he, too, is batting .200 and slugging .300.

Nos. 27-25: Pittsburgh Pirates, Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals

27. Pittsburgh Pirates

MVP: Bryan Reynolds—Lost a bit in the national love affair with Paul Skenes, Reynolds is having one heck of a season at the dish, presently seventh in the majors in total hits with 117. He's also roughly on track for 30 homers and 100 RBI.

LVP: Center Field—The Michael A. Taylor and Jack Suwinski platoon has been a disaster at the dish, giving the Pirates a combined strikeout percentage (.309) that is even worse than their combined slugging percentage (.305). If this team were to trade for Robert or Chisholm, it would be a colossal, possible postseason-destiny-changing transaction.

26. Colorado Rockies

MVP: Ezequiel Tovar—The Rockies shortstop has built beautifully on his breakout rookie campaign from last season, already hitting more home runs (17) and boasting a drastically improved OPS while still providing great defense. Between 22-year-old Tovar and 26-year-old Brenton Doyle, at least this team has some building blocks.

LVP: Leaving Denver—The overall numbers are respectable, but the Rockies have a .657 OPS on the road as opposed to a .767 mark when benefitting from Coors Field. In particular, Brendan Rodgers (.846 OPS at Coors; .559 OPS on the road) is to blame for the drastic split.

25. Washington Nationals

MVP: CJ Abrams—The All-Star shortstop hasn't been the same on the basepaths this season, going 16-for-26 in stolen bases attempts compared to 47-for-51 one year ago. Who needs stolen bases, though, when your OPS improves by 100 points?

LVP: First Base—Juan Yepez has been a pleasant surprise, opening the Nationals portion of his career with a 15-game hitting streak. He's only in the majors, though, on account of Joeys Meneses and Gallo being so ineffective for the team's first 86 games. And without getting much from first base, the Nationals are battling the Marlins for the fewest home runs in the majors.

Nos. 24-22: Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics

24. Tampa Bay Rays

MVP: Isaac Paredes—He isn't homering at quite the same rate (16 in 97 games) as he did last year (31 in 143 games), but Paredes was still the lone All-Star representative from this underperforming offense.

LVP: Jonny DeLuca—Acquired via the Tyler Glasnow trade, DeLuca missed the first five weeks of the season with a broken hand suffered during spring training and has yet to become anywhere near the asset in the outfield they were hoping for. He just eclipsed 200 career ABs in the majors, though, so we're not throwing in the towel or anything yet.

23. Detroit Tigers

MVP: Riley Greene—Colt Keith has come on strong after a rough first five weeks of his MLB career, but Greene is still the star of the offense in Detroit, slugging just under .500 for the year while playing in nearly every game—a key achievement after missing at least 60 games in each of the previous two years.

LVP: Javier Báez—If Keith gets an honorable mention, Spencer Torkelson gets a dishonorable mention, following up his 31-HR 2023 campaign with a sub-.600 OPS that got him sent back to the minors in early June (where he has continued to struggle). Even he can't hold a candle to Báez, though, whose $25M salary for a .446 OPS makes him a strong candidate for the LVP in all of MLB.

22. Oakland Athletics

MVP: Brent Rooker—Putting two Oakland A's in the All-Star Game would've been a bit much, but it's a crime that Rooker was omitted. Through Tuesday morning, only Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Bobby Witt Jr. and Gunnar Henderson—AKA the top four candidates for AL MVP—had a better OPS (in the AL) than Rooker's .939 mark. Everyone's talking about Mason Miller all the time, but if Rooker is on the trade block with three years of team control remaining, he might be the biggest trade chip of them all.

LVP: Aledmys Díaz—The two-year, $14.5M contract Oakland signed him to two offseasons ago never made a lick of sense, but it got all sorts of ugly this year. Díaz missed most of the season with a groin injury and went just 3-for-29 at the plate before the A's cut him.

Nos. 21-19: Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Angels and Chicago Cubs

21. Toronto Blue Jays

MVP: Vladimir Guerrero Jr.—We shall see if he gets traded, but Guerrero has been just about the only bright spot for the Blue Jays, batting .329/.385/.548 since April 28.

LVP: Bo Bichette—Maybe LVP is a bit much, but Bichette has definitely been their biggest individual disappointment this season. From 2021-23, only Freddie Freeman and Trea Turner racked up more hits than Bichette's 555, but he hasn't been remotely the same this year, presently on the IL (calf) with a .597 OPS. Even if the Blue Jays wanted to trade him away, they wouldn't get fair value for him at this point.

20. Los Angeles Angels

MVP: Logan O'Hoppe—Acquired two years ago for Brandon Marsh, this 24-year-old catcher has blossomed into a star for the Halos. He missed most of last season with a torn labrum, but his .800 OPS has been a near-everyday staple in the lineup this year.

LVP: Anthony Rendon—$38.6 million. 0.0 home runs. And 70 percent of the season on the IL. This contract somehow keeps getting worse with each passing year, and there are still two seasons left on it.

19. Chicago Cubs

MVP: Michael Busch—The Cubs traded a pair of teenagers to the Dodgers for Busch and Yency Almonte back in January, and the rookie first baseman has done his darnedest to keep this team from falling completely out of the postseason hunt. His .539 OPS in limited playing time in 2023 has exploded into an .806 mark in an everyday role.

LVP: Pete Crow-Armstrong—His glove has been valuable in center, and he does lead the Cubs in stolen bases (18-for-18) when he gets on base. However, the rookie has struggled to find his way against Major League pitching, batting .183 while consistently buried at the bottom of the lineup.

Nos. 18-16: Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds

18. Texas Rangers

MVP: Josh Smith—It's a tossup between Smith and Corey Seager, but let's give the edge to the one who wasn't even going to be part of the regular mix until Josh Jung suffered a broken wrist in the fourth game of the season. Smith's production has tapered off a bit over the past month, but he's still leading the team in batting average (.285).

LVP: Travis Jankowski—Jankowski has never been one to hit for power, but at least he got on base on a pretty regular basis last season. This year, his .510 OPS is darn near worst in the bigs among players with at least 140 plate appearances.

17. Atlanta Braves

MVP: Marcell Ozuna—No debate to be had here. Batting .306 with 28 home runs and 80 RBI, Ozuna has a very real chance to win a triple crown and is the only reason we aren't talking on a daily basis about how disappointing this offense has been as a whole.

LVP: Adam Duvall—At least he has been healthy enough to play in 80 percent of Atlanta's games, which is more than can be said for fellow outfielders Michael Harris II and Ronald Acuña Jr. However, playing in 80 percent of games with a .184 batting average and an OPS 274 points worse than you had last season isn't exactly helping the team.

16. Cincinnati Reds

MVP: Elly De La Cruz—This one is as open to debate as Atlanta's MVP. The dream of a 100 SB campaign is just about extinguished at this point, but De La Cruz is still on track for around 30 home runs and 80 stolen bases, leading the Reds in both departments.

LVP: Noelvi Marté—After half a decade as a top prospect and after batting .316 in 35 games played in the majors last season, hopes were high that Marté would be a big piece of the puzzle in 2024. Instead, he missed 80 games for a PEDs suspension and has nearly twice as many strikeouts (28) as hits (15) since his activation.

Nos. 15-13: San Francisco Giants, Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals

15. San Francisco Giants

MVP: Heliot Ramos—The silver lining on losing Jung Hoo Lee to a season-ending shoulder injury in early May is it opened the door for Ramos to play on a daily basis. The 2017 first-round pick seized the opportunity in a major way, becoming an All-Star barely two months after making his season debut.

LVP: Wilmer Flores—He led the Giants with 23 home runs in 2023 in what was his ninth consecutive season with an OPS north of .700, reaching a career high of .863. In stark contrast, he's presently below .600 and has lost his grip on a starting job.

14. Kansas City Royals

MVP: Bobby Witt Jr.—Kansas City's shortstop was already quite good for the first three months of the year, but he has been playing out of his mind in July, batting .521 (!!!) in his last 18 games. For the year, he has 56 extra-base hits and 23 stolen bases, single-handedly keeping the Royals' postseason dreams alive.

LVP: Pick an Outfielder—At least Hunter Renfroe has rallied a bit from an impossibly unlucky first six weeks or so of the season, but Kansas City's "as outfield" triple slash for the year is .217/.280/.362. Of the bunch, only Garrett Hampson is batting .240 or better, and he has done so in a part-time role without a single home run.

13. St. Louis Cardinals

MVP: Willson Contreras—He missed about six weeks with a broken forearm from a wayward JD Martinez backswing, but he has still been their best offensive asset in barely half a season played, leading the Cardinals in both OBP and SLG.

LVP: Center Field—They may have finally found something with Lars Nootbaar in center and Alec Burleson in right, but the center field spot—mostly Michael Siani, but somewhat Dylan Carlson and Victor Scott II—has been an eyesore in this lineup all season long. Sure would be swell to get Tommy Edman back for the postseason push.

Nos. 12-10: Cleveland Guardians, San Diego Padres and Boston Red Sox

12. Cleveland Guardians

MVP: José Ramírez—The clutchest member of what has been a clutch lineup, Ramírez is batting .340 this season with runners in scoring position. It only took 97 games for him to match his home run total and exceed his RBI total from 156 games played last year.

LVP: Brayan Rocchio—Don't want to come down too hard on the rookie shortstop who has at least provided a good amount of value on defense. The Guardians were definitely expecting more from him on offense, though, after he hit .271 with 40 home runs and 60 stolen bases over the previous three seasons in the minors.

11. San Diego Padres

MVP: Jurickson Profar—On a roster featuring Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts, it's definitely a bit shocking that Profar is leading the Padres in both home runs and RBI on his one-year, $1M deal. He got to 15 and 60, respectively, in Tuesday's win over the Nationals, then added another two-run bomb the following afternoon.

LVP: Xander Bogaerts—Maybe the fractured shoulder was exactly what the doctor ordered, as Bogaerts—after hitting .219 in his first 47 games—has reeled off six multi-hit performances in his first seven games back. Not one of those 14 hits went for extra bases, though, as he still has an OPS below .640 for the year.

10. Boston Red Sox

MVP: Jarren Duran—The MVP of the All-Star Game has been doing a solid Bobby Witt Jr. impression. Duran's batting average (.292) isn't nearly as remarkable as the star of the Royals, but he does have 55 extra-base hits and 22 stolen bases while also providing good value with his glove in the outfield.

LVP: Second Base—Nine different players have appeared in at least one game at second base for the Red Sox, but nothing that they throw at the wall is sticking. As a whole, "Boston 2B" is batting .194 with a .539 OPS, with Vaughn Grissom (.148 and .367, respectively) the biggest disappointment after they traded Chris Sale and $17M to Atlanta to get him.

Nos. 9-7: Milwaukee Brewers, Houston Astros and Arizona Diamondbacks

9. Milwaukee Brewers

MVP: Christian Yelich—He might need season-ending back surgery, which would be catastrophic for the NL Central-leading Brewers. After hitting .254 from 2020-23, Yelich was flirting with what would have been the third batting title of his career. If he is done, they need to make a big trade deadline splash for a hitter just to maintain what they've done so far and avoid a collapse out of the October picture.

LVP: None—Yelich had clearly been the best hitter for the Brewers, but there's no clear worst. All their regulars have an OPS+ of at least 90, and getting Garrett Mitchell back into the mix after he missed the first three months with a broken hand further solidified an already solid group.

8. Houston Astros

MVP: Yordan Alvarez—The answer here used to be Kyle Tucker, but he has been AWOL since fouling a ball off his shin on June 3. Hard to complain about what Alvarez has done in Tucker's stead, though, posting a 1.150 OPS since the beginning of June while anchoring Houston's return to the postseason picture.

LVP: José Abreu—It has been more than a month since the Astros gave Abreu the boot, but those wounds are still healing. The 2020 AL MVP hit just .124 in 35 games this season, leaving Houston to hope the Blue Jays or Rays are willing to listen to offers for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Isaac Paredes.

7. Arizona Diamondbacks

MVP: Ketel Marte—Arizona's second baseman has been low-key one of the 10-15 most valuable position players in all of baseball since the beginning of last season, this after flirting with an NL MVP in 2019. After going 6-for-12 with three home runs this week against the Royals, he's up to 22 home runs, batting .296 with an OPS of .896.

LVP: Corbin Carroll—He is at least finally hitting home runs again, with four dingers since July 7 after hitting just two in his first 87 games. Still, he is perpetually trying to snap out of what has been a season-long funk with a sub-.300 OBP.

Nos. 6-4: Minnesota Twins, New York Mets and New York Yankees

6. Minnesota Twins

MVP: Carlos Correa—He's currently on the IL (plantar fasciitis), but so are Minnesota's other two viable options for this spot in José Miranda (back) and Royce Lewis (groin). Despite the pain in his foot, he's batting .308 with 13 home runs and the lowest strikeout rate of his career.

LVP: Manuel Margot—He had a .692 OPS in his four seasons with Tampa Bay and a .695 OPS in his four seasons with San Diego, so Minnesota wasn't exactly expecting much here. But Margot has given the Twins both a negative oWAR and dWAR while appearing in the third-most games of any player on this roster.

5. New York Mets

MVP: Francisco Lindor—The Met we are incessantly hearing about in advance of the trade deadline is Pete Alonso, but Lindor has been the much more valuable member of this lineup, particularly over the past 7-8 weeks as they've surged back into the playoff mix. Dating back to June 3, New York's shortstop has an OPS of .994 with 12 home runs and 12 stolen bases.

LVP: Jeff McNeil—Two years removed from winning a batting title, McNeil entered the All-Star Break batting .216 with just five home runs. In his first six games after the intermission, though, he hit .400 with four dingers. Then again, Tim Anderson had a similar flourish in the first two weeks after last year's ASB, so we'll see if it's for real.

4. New York Yankees

MVP: Aaron Judge—Juan Soto is relatively close on his heels, but Judge is the clear favorite for AL MVP at this point. His current OPS (1.106) is only slightly behind when he hit 62 home runs two years ago (1.111), and he might pass 2008 Albert Pujols (1.114) for the best single-season mark (min. 200 PA) of the past two decades.

LVP: Take Your Pick—Beyond Judge and Soto (1.035), there are no Yankees with an OPS of .800 or better, and no healthy Yankees (removing Giancarlo Stanton) north of .715. DJ LeMahieu has been the biggest disappointment, though, as the two-time batting champ has had an OPS hovering around .500 for more than a month now. For all the talk of this being a two-man lineup, though, the Yankees somehow lead the majors in total runs scored.

Nos. 3-1: Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and Baltimore Orioles

3. Los Angeles Dodgers

MVP: Shohei Ohtani—In his first year with the Dodgers, Ohtani is running away with the NL MVP, on track for around 45 home runs, 35 stolen bases and a possible Triple Crown. And that's after a rough first two weeks when we were left to wonder if the Ippei Mizuhara gambling scandal was affecting him at the plate. Since then, he's batting .317 with 162-game paces of 53 home runs and 41 stolen bases.

LVP: Chris Taylor—The super utilityman had a .256 batting average over the previous seven seasons for the Dodgers, but he's only slugging .265 this year. Through 68 team games, he was batting .100 and slugging .111, though, so at least he has been playable over the past six weeks.

2. Philadelphia Phillies

MVP: Bryce Harper—Maybe the only legitimate threat to keeping Ohtani from winning a third MVP is the Phillies first baseman seeking a third of his own. Harper missed nearly two weeks before the All-Star Break with a hamstring strain, but it did nothing to slow him down, already eclipsing his home run total from last season while continuing to flirt with a 1.000 OPS.

LVP: Center Field—It's a broken record at this point in the buildup to the trade deadline, but the Phillies need to add a center fielder. Both Johan Rojas and Cristian Pache have been replacement-level players with a combined OPS around .560. But if they do add a Jazz Chisholm Jr. or Luis Robert Jr., good luck finding fault with this lineup.

1. Baltimore Orioles

MVP: Gunnar Henderson—No debate to be had here. No need to worry about the Home Run Derby possibly messing up Henderson's swing, either, as he posted the third four-hit game of his MLB career (and first of this season) in his first game after the All-Star Break. If he remains on his current pace and gets to 45 home runs and the Orioles win the AL East, the 2023 AL ROY just might be the 2024 AL MVP

LVP: Cedric Mullins—Three years removed from a 30/30 campaign in which he was just about the only Orioles hitter worth building around, Mullins has become the O's weakest link with just one home run and no stolen bases dating back to June 28. For the year, he's batting .143 against lefties, so the O's have been platooning what used to be their everyday CF.
