The MLB international signing period begins on July 2, and the Braves could make a splash by signing some high-dollar talent. This, despite being constrained by MLB regarding how much they can spend.

What good is talent to a fantasy owner who lacks timing?

Fantasy baseball—just like the real thing—is a game of skill, luck and timing. That last trait, in particular, comes in handy with regard to getting value in the trading game.

Knowing which player(s) to trade away and which to deal for—and knowing just the right time to do so—can make all the difference.

Bryce Harper is making progress. Nationals fans should be paying attention to Josh Hamilton, who's had a relatively simple return from his similar thumb surgery. Hamilton has made it through this process normally and not much is ever normal for Hamilton.

Drew Pomeranz struggled against the Texas Rangers on Monday, but it was a chair that gave him more issues than the Rangers lineup did.

Per this ESPN.com report, Pomeranz broke his right hand by punching a chair after Oakland’s 14-8 loss Monday. The chair clearly got the best of the encounter, as Pomeranz is heading to the 15-day disabled list.

The Boston Red Sox's outfield has this whole "team defense" thing figured out. 

After Jonny Gomes lost a fly ball in the light in left field against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, Brock Holt—who was playing center field for the first time in his professional career—bailed him out with a ridiculous diving catch he had no business making.

The Pittsburgh Pirates shocked Major League Baseball last year by winning 94 games and coming within a win of reaching the National League Championship Series, but this year's version of the team will have a hard time duplicating that success.

Jimmy Rollins has spent his entire career with the Philadelphia Phillies, winning an MVP in 2007 and World Series title in 2008 with the team. But now it appears Rollins has softened his stance on finishing his career with the Phillies. 

ESPN has more:

The Major League Baseball trade deadline has been greatly affected by the addition of the second wild card, but the Cincinnati Reds still need to do their best to address areas of need at this year's deadline.

As one of the most consistent pitchers in the game, it is no wonder that teams will be trying to figure out ways to acquire James Shields before the trade deadline.
