July 28th, 2022 was highlighted by Seahawks star WR D.K. Metcalf signing a massive 3y/$72M extension with the largest signing bonus ($30M) ever for a Wide Receiver. Aaron Judge blasted his 39th homer to walk-off KC and waste Brad Keller’s gem (7 IP, 10 K, 1 H), Chiefs signed former Pro-Bowl EDGE Carlos Dunlap on a one-year deal, while Marlins top SP prospect Max Meyer will miss the rest of 2022 and likely all of 2023 from Tommy John surgery. Trey Mancini hit an improbable inside-the-park HR that bounced right off Josh Lowe’s head.
