The trade deadline could be a real letdown this year. The 2nd wild card team has brought more teams competing for a playoff spot... but this year it's brutal.

29 of the 30 teams are currently within 7.5 games of a playoff spot. Tampa Bay is probably the only guaranteed seller. The rest of the AL, including Houston, is now within 5 games of a playoff spot. There's another month to shake some of these teams out though. The Cubs/D-Backs/Padres will probably dump guys, but even they are within 6-7 games of a playoff spot. Some of these teams need to fall off or there'll be a few sellers trying to get prospects from the 22-25 teams in the hunt.
