We have entered the month of July, which is truly the pinnacle of the MLB regular season. The Midsummer Classic is just a few weeks away, and the MLB trade deadline is a few weeks after that.

What Will an Aroldis Chapman Trade Look Like for the Red Sox?
It is no secret that the 2026 Boston Red Sox season has gone in a direction nobody could have predicted, and not for the better. Wrapping up the first half of their season Saturday afternoon with a 4-1 win over the New York Yankees, Boston currently sits at a 37-47 record, sitting firmly in dead […] The post What Will an Aroldis Chapman Trade Look Like for the Red Sox? appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Blue Jays’ Best Trade Chips May Come From the MLB Roster
The Toronto Blue Jays have had an interesting season to navigate in 2026, as their schedule has been filled with injuries to key players and underperforming stars. Through their first 86 games, they are 40-46 and sit a few games under the .500 mark after reaching the World Series last season.

NL Players of the Month: June 2026
The 2026 MLB season has passed its halfway mark in terms of games played. The nominal halfway point, the All-Star break, is fast approaching too. That meant I had plenty of storylines to consider when it came to writing up Just Baseball’s picks for the hitters and pitchers of the month.

Jac Caglianone’s Heater Is a Welcome Sight for the Royals
Not much has gone the way of the Kansas City Royals this season. The American League has been a bit of a train wreck, with a sub-.500 record often being good enough for the final postseason spot. However, at 35–50 and seven games back of that final wild-card position, the Royals find themselves firmly at […] The post Jac Caglianone’s Heater Is a Welcome Sight for the Royals appeared first on Just Baseball .

The Portland Cascade are on a three-game win streak after a sweep over the Volts.

Remarkably, they sit in last place in a slew of offensive categories. The […] The post What Is the Portland Cascade’s Secret to Winning Games? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Dominic Canzone’s Rise Could Make Him an All-Star
When you think potential All-Stars to come out of Seattle, Logan Gilbert, Bryce Miller, Emerson Hancock, Randy Arozarena, and Julio Rodriguez will be the first names that come to mind. These are the players who appear in team promotions and across highlight reels, but they are not the only ones who should be at the […] The post Dominic Canzone’s Rise Could Make Him an All-Star appeared first on Just Baseball .
Top Yankees Prospect Set to Fly Up the Ranks Out of the Bullpen
Carlos Lagrange burst onto the national baseball scene during this past spring training, where he lit up the radar gun and made many fans wonder when we would see him starting on the mound for the New York Yankees in 2026. While the expectation remains that Lagrange, Just Baseball’s No. 53 overall prospect, will make […] The post Top Yankees Prospect Set to Fly Up the Ranks Out of the Bullpen appeared first on Just Baseball .
MLB’s Most-Traded Bat Is Trending Toward Another New Home
It’s hard to think about the Major League Baseball trade deadline and not think about Minnesota Twins first baseman Josh Bell. After three straight years of getting traded at the deadline, Bell saw a season out with the Washington Nationals in 2025. However, this year, it’s trending toward another summer changing uniforms for the switch […] The post MLB’s Most-Traded Bat Is Trending Toward Another New Home appeared first on Just Baseball .
Justin Wrobleski Is the Dodgers’ Latest Pitching Revelation
The Los Angeles Dodgers have built a reputation over the past decade for doing something few organizations can consistently replicate. Every time injuries and underperformance threaten to derail their rotation, someone unexpected seems to step forward. Mike Bolsinger helped stabilize the staff in 2015, pitching to a 3.08 ERA into the All-Star break over 73 […] The post Justin Wrobleski Is the Dodgers’ Latest Pitching Revelation appeared first on Just Baseball .
Blaze Alexander’s Rise Gives the Orioles a Happy Storyline
The Baltimore Orioles’ season hasn’t gone the way they envisioned when they entered spring training with aspirations of winning the American League East. There are plenty of reasons why Baltimore has fallen short of expectations so far this season. Almost immediately, the Orioles lost both veteran starter Zach Eflin and All-Star third baseman Jordan Westburg […] The post Blaze Alexander’s Rise Gives the Orioles a Happy Storyline appeared first on Just Baseball .
Griffin Jax’s Move to the Rotation Is Paying Off
Griffin Jax took the ball in Kansas City on July 3, 2021, for what was his fifth career appearance, only this time it did not come via a long trot from the bullpen. Jax had moved into the rotation and was being tried as a starter for Minnesota. It was an experiment that did not […] The post Griffin Jax’s Move to the Rotation Is Paying Off appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Baltimore Orioles Made the Right Call on Grayson Rodriguez
There are multiple situations or events in which you hear the phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover,” and the offseason trade that sent former top prospect Grayson Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Angels for outfielder Taylor Ward further proves that point. I do not believe it is far-fetched to say that we all […] The post The Baltimore Orioles Made the Right Call on Grayson Rodriguez appeared first on Just Baseball .
Matthew Liberatore’s Future in St. Louis Is Far From Certain
As the MLB trade deadline rapidly approaches, the St. Louis Cardinals are running into a Matthew Liberatore-sized problem. There’s no right answer. Right now, it looks like there are no answers, period. This season, Liberatore has a 5.56 ERA through 16 starts with a -0.7 bWAR. His performance places him comfortably among MLB’s worst qualified […] The post Matthew Liberatore’s Future in St. Louis Is Far From Certain appeared first on Just Baseball .
How Has the Third Wild Card Changed the Trade Deadline?
Implemented in 2022, a third Wild Card spot was added to each league in the postseason, expanding the total playoff pool to 12 teams. With the growing parity around the league, it seems like any team could go on a run and surge into playoff contention. In the American League, there are just four teams […] The post How Has the Third Wild Card Changed the Trade Deadline? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Gage Jump Has Wasted No Time Proving His Worth
Gage Jump wasted no time making it to the big leagues. After being drafted in the second round of the 2024 MLB draft, Jump was recalled earlier in the season by the Athletics with just one full professional season under his belt. Jump, Just Baseball’s No. 30 overall prospect, has not only lived up to […] The post Gage Jump Has Wasted No Time Proving His Worth appeared first on Just Baseball .
Why Defensive Versatility Could Be Max Anderson’s Ticket to the Big Leagues
TOLEDO, Ohio — Keeping up on Nebraska baseball comes easily for Joba Chamberlain. While his time as a member of the Cornhuskers baseball team may have been limited, he has remained an ardent supporter of the program since being drafted by the New York Yankees in 2006. So, when the Detroit Tigers selected Nebraska infielder Max Anderson as their […] The post Why Defensive Versatility Could Be Max Anderson’s Ticket to the Big Leagues appeared first on Just Baseball .
Should the Detroit Tigers Trade Casey Mize?
After a disastrous May, the Detroit Tigers rebounded in the start of June and finally started to look like the team many projected them to be. Health improved, hits started to fall in, hell, even Colt Keith had a moment of flashing power. Climbing back into the race would take a remarkable run but we […] The post Should the Detroit Tigers Trade Casey Mize? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Week of June 29

The Padres Would Be Foolish Not to Lock Up Adrián Morejón
Adrián Morejón’s rise to one of the best relievers in baseball has been anything but conventional. The San Diego Padres originally envisioned him as a starting pitcher, but in 16 games (eight starts) from 2019 to 2021, he would post a 5.91 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP in 32 innings. In between the lack of […] The post The Padres Would Be Foolish Not to Lock Up Adrián Morejón appeared first on Just Baseball .
Dillon Dingler Is the Best Catcher Nobody Is Talking About
For much of the first half, the conversation surrounding the Detroit Tigers hasn’t been about the players producing. It’s been about the players who might not be around much longer. As Detroit has stumbled to a 35-48 record and fourth place in the American League Central, attention has shifted toward the trade deadline and the […] The post Dillon Dingler Is the Best Catcher Nobody Is Talking About appeared first on Just Baseball .
Not Every MLB Veteran Is Ending Their Career On a High Note
An interesting component of every MLB season is the performance of its legends, and how some of those veterans perform at the tail end of their careers. Some thrive, but for others, age catches up with them. As every season does, 2026 has shown us that several former All-Stars and award winners who once dominated […] The post Not Every MLB Veteran Is Ending Their Career On a High Note appeared first on Just Baseball .

Bryan Reynolds is Having a Career Year for the Pirates
Throughout the course of his time wearing the black and gold, Bryan Reynolds’ presence in the lineup has been one of quiet consistency and steady production. Up until 2025, Reynolds had never posted a wRC+ lower than 110 across a full season, earning multiple All-Star nods along the way. However, this unexpectedly changed in 2025 […] The post Bryan Reynolds is Having a Career Year for the Pirates appeared first on Just Baseball .
Lonnie White Jr. Is Getting Back On Track in 2026
Back during the 2021 MLB Draft, all eyes were on the Pittsburgh Pirates leading up to draft day. Possessing the number one overall pick in the draft, the Pirates had a very tough decision to make.
