Summary

The White Sox are cleaning house as they’ve fired their Vice President and GM. We’re talking about the timing of this organizational reconstruction and what the future looks like. The Mariners won their 8th straight game and have put themselves in the conversation to win the division. On the other hand, the Yankees have lost their 9th straight and are officially punting on the 2023 season. We also have Trea Turner and the Phillies on fire since the standing ovation, a correction on the Matt Olson debate, Joey’s statement on blowing the parlay, Davey Sockit, and more! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!
