The All–Star break is officially over as teams start the second half of the season.
The race to make moves before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline is two weeks away and teams in the market to pick up a big bat or solidify their starting rotation for a playoff run are making calls around the league.
The first domino to fall in the trade market was All–Star shortstop Manny Machado who was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Baltimore Orioles. More trades are expected over the next two weeks as teams shuffle to get into position to make a run at the postseason.
