Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Friday, August 8th. Derek Ben Ryper, I know. On this episode, we have a little bit of baseball news you should know, maybe a minor injury for Josh

Naylor. He left the game early on Thursday night. Cade Cavali returned to the Nationals this

week and looks like he's got better stuff than he had before he got hurt. So we'll talk about

his value for the rest of this season and beyond for a Nats team that definitely needs

steady contributors in that starting rotation.

We're going to have our weekend waiver preview as we do every single Friday, and our senior

hot dog correspondent Nif Shah is back with a review, which appears to be a hat tip to John

Fisher from the folks at Nats Park.

Can't wait to get into that.

But before we get started, Eno, some exciting news to share on the network, the sports

gossip show has joined the Athletic Podcast Network, whether you're a diehard fan with

Project runway. Is that the one on Bravo? I just know the, I honestly don't know the difference between that show. Yeah, we used to watch Project Runway, me and my wife, and I forget there's one more. It wasn't even top chef on Broadway back in the day or still is.

Maybe.

But I was told, I think in their words, their show is if ESPN and Bravo had a baby.

So if you know someone that would appreciate that, the sports gossip show is exactly.

Time of my life where that was like 90% of what I watch are on those two channels. Well, they're doing the actual journalistic work trying to understand what's going on with Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson, which I think is a story that's fascinating a lot of people. So there you go. Sports Gossip Show, check it out if that's something you'd be interested. Or tell a friend if you have a friend that would be into it. Let's talk about Josh Naylor. Josh Naylor left the game

early on Thursday with a shoulder injury. We don't know if it's a more than a temporary
