As the Chicago White Sox start to run away with the American League Central Division, the Kansas City Royals are falling to the bottom. Once again, the trade deadline will be a disappearing act for many in the Royals’ clubhouse, as new prospects join the organization and veterans look to make a playoff push elsewhere.
With just over one week until the trade deadline, a major domino has already fallen. On Tuesday evening, The Tampa Bay Rays acquired designated hitter Nelson Cruz and minor league pitcher Calvin Faucher from the Minnesota Twins.

Coming in with big expectations from big offseason acquisition Francisco Lindor, the Mets were met by some disappointing results. With this the case, the Mets have their work cut out for them this trade deadline.
We all remember how the Nationals went 19-31 in their first 50 games and managed to win the World Series in 2019. Let’s not think that is a normal occurrence.
On Tuesday night, Portland fans got to witness a vintage Chris Sale performance. The Boston Red Sox ace took the mound in front of a sold-out crowd and was unhittable. In 3.2 innings of work, Sale struck out six batters and only walked one. Of the 49 pitches he threw, 34 of them were strikes.
While the fate of their 2021 season is decided, the Pirates still have work to do before they think about free agency and the 2022 campaign. In fact, the July 30 trade deadline could dictate how Pittsburgh fares several years down the road.

Although they rank third in their division, the Padres have an impressive 55-41 record, giving them the second Wild Card spot. How might they approach the upcoming July 30 trade deadline?

2021 has marked another year of misery for the Baltimore Orioles. On pace to finish with the worst record in the American League and second-worst record in all of baseball, Baltimore is now turning its attention to the upcoming trade deadline.
