MLB Trade Talk: Breaking Down the Latest Buzz Ahead of Midsummer Classic
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is around the corner, which means the trade deadline is just a brisk jog farther up the road. There’s no point in teasing it out since we all know how this works.
Lots of big and exciting things will happen before July 31 winds down, but we don’t know exactly what. To wit:
Four teams have registered an interest in claiming the American League East for their own. One team in the National League, the New York Mets, has opted out of scoring runs, although it’s possible that’s just because everyone’s in line at Shake Shack. And the Houston Astros have popped their head in to check on the playoff race and decided they quite like it there.
