Now is the sneaky time for fantasy baseball owners to anticipate action at the Major League Baseball trade deadline coming up on July 31.

Likewise, if one of your star player's value takes a hit with a trade, you have to be ready to replace lost stats. Always keep an eye on the MLB trade deadline!
