Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘arms race’ as in trades as in flurry as in Mets as in Phillies as in Mariners as in buyers as in sellers! Let’s start with the slugger. Eugenio Suarez is back to the Mariners. Big pop. Joins Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. (13:00) The Mets and Phillies is the real arms race. The Mets trade for a bullpen arm. The Phillies trade for a closer. The Mets then trade for another bullpen arm! That’s how it goes. The divisional race then the bullpen race. (26:00) The Reds have traded for Ke’Bryan Hayes from the Pirates. He is an elite defensive player. He is so bad at the plate. (32:50) The Red Sox traded for Steven Matz last night. He’s a starter that’s been in the bullpen. (35:30) Review: Field of Dreams. (40:00) Shohei Ohtani was pulled from his start for cramping in his hip. It was the first time he went into inning 4 this year. He stayed in the game as DH. (44:00) NPPOD. Let’s talk about the Yankees and Anthony Volpe. The errors won’t stop.
