Welcome to July! The schedule on the first day of the month qualifies as a boom-or-bust slate, with some stellar starting options but few appealing matchups in the middle tier.
An out of contention CIN club should be active in the trade market over the next month. Also covered: the CHC and MIL rotations, the catching situation in PIT, and a look at trade possibilities in STL.
After batting .265 with 16 HR in 279 AB a year ago, Jesus Aguilar has fared even better in 2018, compiling a .302 BA and 17 HR in 205 AB. Plus, Ian Desmond, Wade Davis, Manny Margot and Brent Suter.
Marwin Gonzalez will continue to get most of the SS reps while Carlos Correa is on the shelf. Plus, Jorge Bonifacio back from suspension, Robbie Ray activated, Walker Buehler returns, and more.
After an injury-filled 2017, Tom Murphy looks to run away with the catching job in COL, plus the Giants rotation receiving reinforcements, the LA 3B situation, SD bullpen, and ARI outfield.
