July 29th, 2022 was highlighted by an MLB blockbuster trade as Seattle acquired Reds SP Luis Castillo for three of their top-five prospects. Aaron Judge did it all vs. KC, robbing a HR and hitting two including a majestic grand slam, Washington’s legendary OLB Ryan Kerrigan retired, while Yordan Alvarez became the fastest to 30 HR in Astros history. Austin Riley’s prolific July was Hank Aaron-esque, Buccaneers Pro Bowl C Ryan Jensen could miss all of 2022 due to a knee injury, and Nolan Arenado did what he does best with another bare-handed web gem.
