June was defining in New York baseball.
The Yankees posted the best record in the AL to surge to the overall best record in the AL.
The Mets produced the worst record in the NL to fall 11 under .500 and 12 out of first place.
Their first games of July were against each other with the anticipation of another defining month ahead. By the time it ends with the July 31 trade deadline, will the Yankees have obtained the starter they need? Will the Mets have dealt at least one of their own starters, maybe two, possibly three?
