Boston Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli hasn't had much luck at the plate this season, so he certainly didn't need an umpire to make matters worse.

If it seems like it's getting late early in baseball, well, it kind of is, as MLB's July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is just over four weeks away.

That's not a whole lot of time for teams to figure out whether they're going to be buyers or sellers, and this year's deadline promises to be as unpredictable as any that we've encountered in recent seasons.

As the calendar changes to July, those MLB trade whispers will turn into loud shouts. Because of that, there's no better time to rank the top 15 trade targets who figure to be available over the next month. 

Players like Cole Hamels, Johnny Cueto and Scott Kazmir have heard their names grind through the rumor mill for the better part of the 2015 season. While those stars will command the majority of the attention, players like Ben Zobrist, Adam Lind and Mike Leake can also be difference-makers for contenders. 

Without many great options at pitcher, Monday's daily fantasy baseball contests could be a chance to really load up on the top hitters around the league. The key will be to find the right players at each spot to give you a chance to win money.

Not only are there only nine games to choose from, none of the pitchers are valued more than $9,000 on DraftKings. This could create some interesting lineups throughout the different contests available.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels after being struck in the head by an errant throw that made its way into the dugout prior to the seventh inning. 

There’s a certain beauty to a perfect slide. It’s graceful, smooth and pretty much exactly the opposite of what Starling Marte did on Saturday.

Houston Astros pitcher Brett Oberholtzer got rocked by the New York Yankees on Saturday, allowing a grand slam to catcher Brian McCann and a two-run dinger to outfielder Chris Young.

Having allowed six runs and still not out of the second inning, the lefty was frustrated. So he took his anger out on Alex Rodriguez by throwing a fastball at his midsection.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Tim Lincecum was forced to exit Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies after being struck in the arm by a line drive, suffering a right forearm contusion.

Andrew McCutchen has been one of baseball's most durable players since the Pittsburgh Pirates called him up in 2009. However, he is currently dealing with an elbow injury after being hit by a pitch. His status for Sunday's game remains unclear.

The injury affects us all. 

Giancarlo Stanton’s bad luck continued Friday night as he injured his left wrist whiffing on a swing against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
