In League 1, the Brooklyn Knights and Nashville Firecats distanced themselves from the competition. They remained atop their respective divisions and lengthened the leads over their nearest competitors. In League 2, the Key West Corals did likewise. They started to pull away from the Stade Maples. Richmond remained on top in League 2 Division 2. However, that division is extremely competitive with only three games separating all four teams.

There were some notable trades in June:

The Stade Maples traded 37-year-old center fielder Jim Stoneman to the Nashville Firecats, getting 32-year-old reliever Mike Conigliaro in return.

The Phoenix Rattlers traded 33-year-old catcher Ted Pollet to the Stade Maples, getting 28-year-old starting pitcher Jose Battista in return.

The Brooklyn Knights traded 21-year-old minor league starting pitcher Mauro Alfonso and 21-year-old minor league reliever Jason Stagg to the Dayton Grizzlies, getting 22-year-old right fielder Maurílio Godim in return.

The Las Vegas Luck traded 29-year-old reliever Dong-u Sop to the Richmond Slam, getting 20-year-old minor league third baseman Joe Tyre and 19-year-old minor league first baseman Quilvio Martínez in return.
