The 2018 MLB Draft wrapped up with a nice little bow and a few surprises along the way. Miss out on something and need to catch up? Check out all of our draft coverage right here and never be that guy again.

Our most recent FanPost Friday wants to know: What should your team do at the deadline?

• We continued our previews of the 2018 MLB trade deadline with a look at the Washington Nationals who have already become active on the trade market as they look to capitalize on their window of contention.
• Speaking of said previews, just in case you missed one or want an easy reference tool, we made an index of all of them so you can find the team you want to look at without muss or fuss. MLBDD, always making your life easier.
• The Reds kicked off this season in arguably one of the worst ways ever. Are they going to be buyers or sellers at the deadline or just sit in mediocrity for a little longer.
• The Diamondbacks are going to get a key piece to their rotation back, as Shelby Miller is expected to make his debut today after being out of action for more than 14 months.
• The Cubs have one of the most complete rosters in the majors, but they may still be buyers for supplemental pieces at the trade deadline.
• The Rangers may not be close to a playoff appearance, but some of their pitchers could be...just suited up in a different uniform. Here’s who Texas could part with when the deadline rolls around.
• Guess whose back back back, back again-gain-gain, Kershaw’s back back back, tell yo’ friends friends friends. (Clayton Kershaw returned from the disabled list this weekend.)
• Your Weekly MLB Playoff Odds have spoken: The Cardinals playoff odds are trending in the wrong direction, oh gosh someone turn this car around.
• It’s difficult to imagine the Astros getting much better than they are right now, but you can still expect them to be buyers at the trade deadline.
• The Orioles, meanwhile, are on pace to have one of the worst seasons in major-league history and should definitely be sellers.
• Cleveland is already shaping up to make another mad dash for the World Series title. It’s pretty clear how they’ll attack the trade deadline.(pssssst, relief pitching).
• Blue Jays’ Roberto Osuna has been suspended until August due to assault arrest.
• Unless they’re sending a sign to Buster Posey to pack it in, the Giants made a curious move on draft day. San Francisco’s decision to select Bart could create an awkward situation much sooner than you think. And with that signing bonus? I’d be nervous if I was the current catcher too.
• There’s no debating it: Bryce Harper is an outstanding baseball player — sometimes he may even be considered one of the best in the league — but we might be overvaluing him.
• Time to tune in to the potential next face of your franchise. Here’s how to follow every first-round draft pick on social media.
