Summary

It’s a sad day for baseball as Shohei Ohtani suffered a UCL injury and won’t pitch again for the rest of the season. We’re discussing how this will affect his status as a two-way player moving forward and how much his value might change on the free agent market. We also talk about the tight AL West Race, Mookie’s impending return to Boston, and more! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Monday!
