We're into June, and that means the buy/sell divide in advance of the trade deadline is starting to take shape. Michael Beller and Keith Law take a look at either side of that, including some teams on the former side that weren't necessarily expected to be contenders.

The guys then turn their eyes to the standings, where they zero in on the A's keeping pace with the Astros, and the Mets putting some distance between themselves and the rest of the NL East, despite being the most injured team in the league. Finally, a quick check in on some of this season's most intriguing rooking starting pitchers.
