Summary

After buying at the trade deadline, not trading Shohei, and going all in for a 2023 playoff run, the Angels have officially rage quit. They have placed SIX players on waivers, four of which they acquired at the deadline. We get Max on the phone for his reaction which leads to his beautiful delivery of a poem encapsulating Angels fans’ thoughts on the state of the team. Other topics include J-Rod claiming the AL lead in hits, Strasburg’s retirement, Acuña Jr. chasing 30/60 and NL MVP discussion, Yu Darvish potential elbow injury, Aaron Boone staying as the Yankees manager, and Tony Gonsolin having elbow surgery. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!
