If you missed anything Odyssey.com rewind, we did start the show with a different angle on

Terrick's Google. I had everybody put their swords down as far as trade or not to trade.

It was a topic about he's not just the Cy Young Award winner. Is there a conversation about

the MVP? And I gave a historical comp or two. If you want to go hear that that go get it. I wanted to read something this is not

on our show sheet but I wanted just to bring this to you I thought it was interesting I'm

working my way through the Buster-only piece on ESPN about the trade deadline coming up.

Baseball. And these are always fun because it's anonymous MLB executives.

Tigers have.

Okay.

They got a run differential of minus 17.

All right, Tigers are minus 9, but that fits, right? Yeah. And they're just a half game back in the race for the third

wild card well tigers are two games out this team's a half And they have the kind of starting pitching and they name three pitchers

which the Tigers have that could dominate it a short series in October. Here's the quote.

If they upgrade the offense just a little bit, they could be a tough out in the playoffs.

And AL executive said, they're not typically buyers, but in this case the National League stinks.

The team he's talking about is the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Mmm.
