Summary

Tim Kurkjian and Buster discuss an exciting series between the Padres and Mariners, the Cal Raleigh-Aaron Judge MVP race coming down to the season’s final month, Clayton Kershaw continuing to roll, the odd situation with Ketel Marte in Arizona, and which teams may see managerial changes this offseason. Then, Red GM Nick Krall stops by to talk about his team grinding in pursuit of a playoff spot, his moves at the trade deadline to bolster the squad, and his emphasis on playing clean. Later, Hembo on the Anthony Volpe situation continuing to fester, why base running isn’t the Yankees’ biggest issue, Trevor Rogers dominating, Will Smith holding the Dodgers lineup together, and Shane Bieber shoving for the Blue Jays.
