25. team. 96. Heading into this season, Yonder Alonso’s career high for homers was nine. He has already tied that mark in 2017. At 30 years old, it is highly unlikely that he has suddenly become a power hitter, but the A’s will certainly take that production.. . Previous: 24th. Oakland Athletics

. Previous: 22nd. Pittsburgh Pirates. 24. team. 4. Remember how the Pirates were desperate to get rid of Josh Harrison? Right now, he leads the team with five homers and a .305 batting average, while ranking second with a 1.1 WAR. If they had traded him as they hoped, just imagine how much worse Pittsburgh would be.

102. The Angels are hovering around .500 without most of their starting rotation, so there should be reason for optimism. However, Mike Trout has missed the last two games, and three of the past four, with hamstring issues. If he is out for any length of time, put a fork in the season.. . Previous: 20th. Los Angeles Angels. 23. team

3. Well, this season is turning into a dumpster fire for the Mets. Noah Syndergaard is on the 60 day DL because of a lat injury. Matt Harvey went AWOL, and has been suspended without pay. Harvey, meanwhile, has filed a grievance against being docked his paycheck. This will not end well.. . Previous: 19th. New York Mets. 22. team

As the Rangers continue to struggle, one of the more interesting rental players that could come available is Yu Darvish. He is starting to look like an ace once again, and should Texas find themselves out of contention, he could kickstart a rebuild in a hurry.. . Previous: 21st. Texas Rangers. 21. team. 126
