334. Trades can be so confusing - Pointless Exercise Baseball Podcast
from Pointless Exercise - A Desipio Podcast · host Pointless Exercise
The trade deadline is looming and somebody's going to do something really stupid, so David Brown joined us to try to help make sense of it all. Why are teams so afraid of trading top prospects when the last time a number one overall was dealt it worked out great for the team who traded him? Why would the Tigers consider trading Tarik Skubal? Will the Cubs find a taker for Jameson Taillon and why the hell are they dangling Justin Steele? What's Jazz Chisholm's real name? Will the O's hold their Mayo? Should Nico Hoerner actually be on a good team? The Dodgers get a former star back, Andy grouses about Ian Happ's no-trade clause AGAIN, and Christian Yelich's weak back from more than a week back has the Brewers in need of a bat. All that and more.
