There are a lot of teams that consider themselves playoff contenders going into the second half of the MLB season, which could lead to a lot of aggressive moves before the trade deadline.  

For the sellers hoping to unload talent during a lost season, this could be a great opportunity to bring back some top prospects after a bidding war.

After surviving two of the dullest days on the sports calendar, Major League Baseball returns Friday to save sports fans from a dearth of news and excitement, at least stateside.  

Fact: Every American League team is within eight games of a playoff spot at the All-Star break. This has only happened once before in 1958.

It's that time of year, baseball fans! Let's take a closer look at which teams will be buying and selling at the 2015 MLB trade deadline. 

The MLB trade deadline is just two weeks away, and with the All-Star Game finally in the rearview mirror, the rumor mill is starting to heat up.

Big names like Johnny Cueto, Aroldis Chapman, Jeff Samardzija and numerous others are potentially available, and new names seem to pop up every day in reported trade discussions. Here, we'll discuss some players who have already been linked to trade talks, along with relative newcomers like James Shields and Jay Bruce.

The All-Star break is over, and the start of the second season is upon us. That makes Friday one of the most exciting days for daily fantasy owners on DraftKings.

Taking some time off to enjoy the All-Star Game was fun, but it's time to get back down to business. Prior to setting your lineups Friday, here's a look at some low-value players for July 17.

First Baseman: Adrian Gonzalez, Los Angeles Dodgers ($4,300)

Baseball is a tough sport to predict on a day-in and day-out basis, and it becomes exponentially more difficult to predict looking years into the future. But that's exactly what we're going to be doing here.

The following is the fifth installment in a series we've dubbed, "B/R's MLB 20 for '20." In this series, we'll attempt to project the top 20 players at each position five years down the road in 2020.

Friday kicks off the second half of the MLB season, which gives both players and daily fantasy baseball owners a chance to either build off their early success or turn things around after a slow start.

For much of 2015, things have been a bit hellish for the Los Angeles Angels. They began the year by raising a ruckus over Josh Hamilton's latest relapse.

Back to work. The MLB season resumes on Friday, leaving fantasy baseball players precious time to execute a second-half trade.

Depending on the league's deadline, most managers have 2-4 weeks before the trading period closes. After spending the four-day break agonizing over roster deficiencies, gamers are anxious for change.
