Summary

The Angels are reportedly open to trading Mike Trout if he wants out. We’re talking about possible destinations, who could take the rest of his massive contract, and where he’s at in his career in terms of production and health. Dallas thinks he’s washed. Our other lead topic is George Kirby’s comments about wishing he was pulled earlier in his last start. We dive into exactly what he said as well as the reaction from former pitchers on social media. Ronald Acuña is sick of being pitched inside and had some words for Pirates pitcher Oviedo which led to the benches clearing. We’re breaking down the exchange and talking about if Acuña took it too far. Other topics include the Astros continuing to dominate, Jasson Dominguez’s torn UCL, the BID Parlay, John Means returning, Braves clinching the postseason, and more! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Wednesday!
