This week has been a full week of irritation! For Alec as a fan and for a number of the players throughout the MLB! Some of the biggest names in baseball are all going through a rough spot right now and it isn't pretty. The biggest team going through it is the New York Yankees.

The Phillies & Mets add key pieces to their lineups and pitching depth! The Padres and Mariners clearly showed they want to win their divisions! and The Pirates casually collected prospects! Alec breaks down some of the madness that was the MLB Trade Deadline in this episode of Scorebook Stories!

In this episode of Scorebook Stories, Alec looks at a few of the trades that happened over the last week! No major blockbusters have really been made yet but there is still 5 days left! Who will be the next big name to be traded before July 31st?

The MLB Trade Deadline is July 31st and there are a lot of players who have been rumored to be on the move this season! Each team has similar needs so there could be a few teams that have to overpay for the star players they want. With the amount of playoff teams that are still out there, the price must be right for a big star to be in a new uniform by the end of the month!

It is All-Star Week! The Futures game was this past Saturday, the draft kicks off tonight, the HR Derby is Monday, and the ASG is Tuesday! We have a fun week ahead of us and Alec dives into everything coming up and announced the Scorebook Stories All First Half Team! Stay tuned to see if your favorite player made the roster!
