Summary

Jeff Passan joins the show to talk offseason trade market and free agency, specifically where Ohtani and Soto could end up plus whether Mike Trout will leave the Angels. He also gives us World Series predictions and an update on what he’s doing with the tree that broke his back. We come out of the gates hot in today’s episode with Jared defending “Dancing On My Own” as the Red Sox song even though the Phillies are running it back for the second year. Kevin Plawecki calls in to give his take as the originator of the song. Later on, we dive deeper into Trout’s emotional comments and what that says about his status in LA. We even get Tex’s take on the Astros chances to make a playoff run. We finish up by checking in on the NL Wild Card chaos and then we gone! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!
