Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitching phenom Julio Urias made his highly anticipated major league debut Friday night at Citi Field against the New York Mets. 

However, the 19-year-old's inaugural trip to the mound on the MLB stage didn't go as smoothly as the Dodgers would have liked in the 6-5 loss. Over the course of 2.2 innings, Urias allowed three earned runs and five hits while walking four batters and striking out three.

Predictions are a lot like trades. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't.

But that doesn't stop teams from swinging deals or pundits and statisticians from predicting the future, so you can be sure it's not going to stop us, either. And what better prediction to make than which players will be traded between Memorial Day weekend and baseball's Aug. 1 trade deadline.

That's will be traded, not might be traded.

You're going to enjoy this one, Boston Red Sox fans.

Yes, your club is sitting atop the American League East standings as May winds down. But far, far more importantly, Boston landed three—count 'em, three—players on Bleacher Report's MLB Team of the Month.

Feels good, right?

The rules are essentially the same as Team of the Week, except we're looking at stats from the past 30 days instead of the last seven.

Chances are the Kansas City Royals weren't going to repeat as MLB champions no matter what.

Don't get mad, Royals fans. That's just clear-eyed history.

Jackie Bradley Jr.'s 29-game hitting streak came to an end Thursday against the Colorado Rockies.

Bradley finished hitless in four at-bats as the Boston Red Sox fell 8-2 at Fenway Park.

Bradley was close to getting another chance to extend his streak, per MLB.com's Ian Browne:

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams left the field during Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals with mid-back stiffness, the team announced.

The Boston Red Sox are set to retire Wade Boggs' No. 26 on Thursday night, but after what he did on Wednesday, the team may be rethinking that special honor.

OK, maybe not. But when someone wears a New York Yankees World Series ring to Fenway Park, Red Sox Nation tends to raise an eyebrow—or two.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up pitcher Julio Urias, and he is expected to make his MLB debut Friday against the New York Mets, the team announced Thursday.   

The MLB trade market generally doesn't heat up until the beginning of July, but it's never too early to start speculating about some potential deals that teams could explore.

We've broken down the following article into buyers, sellers and teams still on the fence, as it's not clear where all 30 teams will fall at this point with so much baseball left to be played.

For buyers, we've proposed a trade to help plug one of their areas of need and for sellers we've suggested a deal that could turn a veteran piece into young assets.

Even without a career that included six All-Star appearances, four Silver Sluggers and three seasons in which he finished in the top 10 in NL MVP voting, Chase Utley would still forever remain in the baseball lexicon.

Albeit because of one play.
