July marks a crucial period in the MLB calendar with the trade deadline looming on July 31. Teams that are struggling to contend must assess whether they will sell players or try to bolster their rosters for a playoff run. While teams like the New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, and Houston Astros are clear buyers, others such as the Colorado Rockies, Chicago White Sox, and Miami Marlins are expected to sell.

Teams like the Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves find themselves in a precarious situation, unsure whether to reinforce their squads or sell off pieces. Meanwhile, teams like the Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox are on the bubble, needing significant performances in July to secure a postseason spot. The outcomes of their games in the coming weeks will dictate whether they become buyers or sellers at the trade deadline.
