We went 12-11 in July and we're now 47-55 overall. Jose Altuve turned things on and hit .348 with four homers and 15 RBI. Aaron Nola was wretched, with an 8.31 ERA in five starts. Andres Munoz had an excellent month and notched five saves. Jarred Kelenic started the all-star game in right field, and Juan Ramirez also made the team.

I ended up trading Rhys Hoskins to Milwaukee with two minor leaguers for a package of four quasi-prospects. We got three potential bullpen pieces (24-year-old Ron Geiger, 23-year-old Jeff Pasceri and 19-year-old Josh Lackey) and an outfielder (25-year-old Vitor Watanabe). Hoskins hit .237 with 10 home runs prior to the trade, and we get out from the next two years of his contract.

We signed two international amateur outfielders: Alfredo Rivera (Dominican Republic, $5M) and Dominic Maltman (Australia, $4.6M). Neither seems likely to make much of an impact, but who knows.

Around the league:
-The Braves and the Rangers have the best records in baseball, at 64-39.
-Juan Miranda (TEX) has an outside change at a triple crown. He leads baseball with 42 home runs and 97 RBI, and is 18 points behind in the AL batting race at .314.
