For the contenders, as well as the sellers and cellar-dwellers, the next two months are significant. Here's what each team should lock in on

It's been quite a journey for the Seattle Mariners this season, who put their stamp on the American League West Division top spot early. Seattle has been riding the hot bat of catcher Cal Raleigh, who has 41 homers to his name at this time.

If you’re trying to predict which team ends up trading the most big-league players away, the Orioles are as good a guess as any. Gregory Soto could soon be followed by Ryan O’Hearn, Cedric Mullins, Zach Eflin, Charlie Morton, Tomoyuki Sugano and/or Seranthony Dominguez, all of whom are rentals.
