— -- July is for trade rumors. August is for history.

That sounds like something Kennesaw Mountain Landis once said. Or, at the very least, Peter Gammons. But here's the truth. I made it up myself. And here's why:

I love trade talk. You love trade talk. Trade talk keeps our sites and networks in business. Trade talk keeps those talk-show lines humming. But then along comes August, when we look up and notice something just as important:

There's a tremendous baseball season still in progress. Full of real-life baseball players chasing real-life history. In front of our very eyes.

So that's why, every August, I volunteer to provide this valuable public service. It's another edition of the ever-popular August History Watch. And if all -- or any -- of this stuff happens, it'll be way more rewarding than your average trade rumor. I promise.
