A look back at the original reporting and analysis found on MLBTR this past week:

• Steve Adams presented another Transaction Retrospection with a look back at the Reds' acquisition of Mat Latos.
• Tim Dierkes listed the 2014 free agents who currently find themselves on the DL.
• Steve issued a Free Agent Stock Watch for ten starting pitchers who have battled injuries this year.

• Tim identified potential trade targets who are under team control beyond this season.
• Jeff Todd examined in greater detail the trade candidacy of one those players, Alex Rios.
• Steve writes the Cubs could net a Top 10 prospect and another respectable piece in any deal for David DeJesus.
• Tim sees the Marlins' Kevin Slowey as a trade candidate who could solidify the back end of the rotation for teams like the Giants or Pirates.
• For teams in need of bullpen help, Tim looked at some relievers who could be available.
