Ep. 191 (7/27/23): Shohei Ohtani Off the Trade Block, The Angels Are Buyers – Giolito Trade, The Beauty of Win-Now Mode, Dodgers Lose Series to Blue Jays, The Downfall of the White Sox

In this episode, Joey starts off by discussing the biggest storyline in the MLB last night – Shohei Ohtani was taken off the trade market by the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels have made the decision to be buyers and are in win-now mode. Joey explains why he believes the Angels have made the right decision and uses an analogy from the game of football to illustrate the Halos being in desperation mode, with no option but to make a run. After that, he recaps the Los Angeles Dodgers’ series win over the Texas Rangers this past weekend, before moving onto breaking down the Dodgers’ series loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. During this segment, Joey takes a deep look into the Dodgers’ ability to help turn back time for regressing players and fix their mistakes. Following that, Joey briefly looks into the downfall of the Chicago White Sox, a club with a talented roster but never lived up to its full potential.
