Summary

The trade deadline is tomorrow and so far it has been pretty uneventful on the trade market, until now! We have multiple trades break during today's episode and we're reacting live to the news, including the Brewers shockingly moving Josh Hader to the Padres. Jared talks about how he almost broke the Luis Castillo trade until Passan swiped it from him. Juan Soto has yet to be dealt so we're power ranking the bets fits for him among the Cardinals, Dodgers, and Padres. Aaron Judge now has 42 home runs and we're talking about if AL MVP is back up for debate. Dallas still thinks it's ridiculous to consider anyone but Shohei. The Yankees trade for Scott Effross and the Padres extend Joe Musgrove during the show so we're reacting live to those transactions as well. The Angels announced they are keeping Shohei Ohtani despite serious offers coming in from other teams. JRod is on the IL which may open the door for Mr. Peña to creep his way back. into the Rookie of the Year race. Joey closes the show by welcoming back Jacob DeGrom. Enjoy!
