Summary

Tim Kurkjian and Buster discuss free agency at a stand-still until the big pieces are off the board, Shohei Ohtani’s paranoia, the Yankees under pressure, David Stearns being unbothered by the heat in New York, and the expectations for the Orioles in free agency. Then, Hembo explains why the Yankees should not pursue Juan Soto, why Baltimore should trade for Corbin Burnes, and why he’d be reluctant to give up anything valuable for Tyler Glasnow. Later, Sarah Langs has thoughts on the College Football Playoff (not really), and she plays The Numbers Game. 5:52 Tim Kurkjian 30:53 Hembo 49:38 Sarah Langs 58:01 #BleacherTweets Learn more about your ad choices.
