This is the baseball tonight podcast for Tuesday, July 30th, 2024 and today will be better than yesterday and today has to be better than yesterday because we've hit the trade deadline.

I'm sitting here on Buster-only and I'm sitting here in a conference room above

E-SP and a radio station, okay?

And alongside me is Dave Schoenfield,

of course covers baseball free ESPN,

Tim Kirkchin.

Guys, the trade deadline is passed.

How relieved are you, Tim?

Well, I'm relieved, but the biggest winners

are passing and buster, because the train deadline is over.

It's the most, it's the most grueling thing ever because of all the misinformation we have these days and

is exciting and as fun as it is is it's a relief when it's done.

I can confirm Buster has big bags under his eyes he hasn't slept in 72 hours.

Oh man but I am glad it's over and I would say this. This is not the end of players moving from one team to another. We'll get to that in a little while, but look,

we always go into winners and losers

after the trade deadline.

I think the way I'm going to do this, though,

is to give you guys a name of a team, and you tell me on a scale of one to ten how you would

rate where they landed and as always at the Dre deadline we got to start that list with the Los Angeles

Dodgers who seem to do more than anybody. If you guys can help me out as if I

remember they got Jack Flaherty, okay? They got Tommy Edman. They gotopec for their bullpen, and they got Kevin Keremyer for their bench.

Tim will start with you.
