The full moon on July 21, 2024, will be in Capricorn. This is said to have the effect of making everyone feel like they have to rush; or as if this is their last chance to get something they need done right this very moment. June’s full moon two weeks ago [as of this writing] was also in Capricorn. So whatever “ended” for us in June wasn’t over until July.

It may be time for the MLB All-Star break, but we still have work to do on the fantasy baseball waiver wire. The few days off we get for the mid-summer classic is when the casual fantasy player breathes a sigh of relief and tries to sit back, relax and forget about the grind that is a full baseball season. The savvy fantasy player, also known as your impending league champion, is still very much hard at work looking for any possible edge. They’re going through the latest MLB injuries, figuring out which roster holes need a patch-job and which categories should be focused on for that second-half push. They don’t take a day off and neither do we at Fantasy Alarm.

To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and Philadelphia Phillies players not homering in the All-Star Game." While I may not have exactly captured Dr. Franklin's quote precisely, the proof is there. Of the 207 home runs that have been hit in the history of the MLB All-Star Game going back to its founding in 1933, only five have been hit by Phillies. It's a staggeringly low number for a franchise that has been around the entire time and seen its share of sluggers, although there were a few slow decades in there that kept their representation, and thus the odds of one of their players homering, down. But I digress.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a rough go of it as of late, and due to injuries and general holes on the roster, they could stand to add a lot of help at the MLB Trade Deadline. There are obvious names that stand out, but there are enough needs for the Dodgers that they could stand to get some real help out of the lesser names on the trade market.
