The trade deadline is Thursday at 4 P.M. eastern and there are a lot of rumors that swirl out from boredom. But, there are a lot of trade rumors that are real. Here's a quick break down of the top 10 guys of value that will likely go and where. Next to players (from 1-10 chance of being dealt). Teams are listed in order of likelihood. 

1. Jon Lester-LH SPBoston (9): The Boston Red Sox ace is in the final year of his deal, and talks stalled this past winner for a long-term extension. Everybody from the Pacific to South Beach have been rumored, but these are the likely landing spots. Remember, Boston is dealing him with the chance to re-sign in a few months, so all hope is not lost in Boston. Pirates, Dodgers and Angels. Marlins and Orioles are also dark-horses. (10-7), 2.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP. 

2. John Lackey-RH SP Boston (7): With an affordable option for next year, Lackey has drawn great interest. Lackey was great last post season and that's huge for a young team trying to chase. Blue Jays, Pirates, Royals, Marlins and LA Angels could all be good fits. Lackey's return to  Angels could spark a deep run. (11-7), 3.60 ERA, 1.23 WHIP. 

3. Andrew Miller-LH RP Boston (10): A costless agents at year's end, Miller is having his best year and many are interested. Braves, Nationals, Tigers and Rays. All can use a boost in the pen on the left side. Of course everybody can, ALWAYS. (3-5), 2.40 ERA, .919 WHIP. 

4. Emilio Bonifacio-Utility infielder Cubs (10): His versatility to start or come off the bench makes him an attractive acquisition for many. He also has good speed which adds to the interest. Giants, Orioles, Braves and Mariners. .279 BA / .373 SLG / . 692 OPS. 

5. Marlon Byrd- OF Phillies (6): His power is wanted, his long contract and age are not. Many have been rumored, look for him to get shopped, but he might not stick because of the price tag. Yankees, Royals, Cardinals and Giants. .273 BA/ .482 SLG / .803 OPS. 

6. Tommy Milone- LH SP Oakland (5): The A's do not have to move him and he is a good security blanket in case of injury. But, he has chirped about wanting out, so offers will come in. Even from teams not in the playoff picture.  Marlins, Yankees, Royals, Redsox and Phillies. (6-3), 3.55 ERA, 1.21 WHIP. 

7. Alex Rios- O.F. Rangers (10): He's going somewhere. With 4.23 million dollars owed on this year, and a 1 million dollar buy out for next, stars are aligned in Texas for a move. Yankees, Giants, Braves, Royals, Pirates, Cardinals and Marlins. .305 / .431 SLG/ .766 OPS. 

8. Joaquin Benoit- RH RP Padres (7): He's been stellar all year and very affordable through next year. Talks have heated up this week. Even after trading closer Huston Street, San Diego might be shuffling that closer's role come Thursday. Dodgers, Yankees, Braves, Brewers and Blue Jays. (4-2), 3 SV/ 1.88 ERA / .83 WHIP

9. Aaron Hill- 2B Diamondbacks (8): Whether it's now, or on waivers in August, this looks like it will get done. Many teams need a solid second base option to platoon or much more. Braves, Nationals, Mariners and Yankees. .253 BA/ .385 SLG/ .675 OPS

10.  Bartolo Colon- RH SP Mets (7): The big man can still pitch. Whoever gets him will have an out of shape 41-year-old with another year on his contract. Buyer beware: his bat is awful, so AL is likely. Blue Jays, Yankees, Rays, Mariners and Pirates. (10-8)/3.88 ERA/1.16 WHIP. 

Batters Key: SLG-slugging percent, BA-Batting average, OPS- On base plus slugging percentage. 
Pitchers Key: (Win-Loss), ERA-Earned Run Average, WHIP- Walks+Hits divided by Innings Pitched, Sv-Saves.
