Episode 435: Devers' Defiance

from Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast) Hosted by Baseball Is Dead

Episode 435: MLB Draft season is fast approaching! Our tribal chief, Jared, is away at the MLB Draft Combine, which allows Dallas, Tyler, and Jay Hay to get weird at the start of the week! Rafael Devers finds himself in the news once again for the wrong reasons. This time, it features him attempting to wave off a pinch runner and send him back to the dugout in the 9th inning. The guys react to the potential fallout of another public incident for Devers and the Giants organization. Bryce Harper hit for his own “Br-cycle” this week and added another milestone to his potential Hall of Fame career. The conversation on Harper leads the guys to discuss which active player most needs a World Series ring to cement their legacy. And lastly, Byron Buxton has said he does not want to be traded from the Minnesota Twins. The crew reacts to the request and the lose-lose situation small-market superstars find themselves in during the social media era. 00:00:00 - Milky The Hunchback 00:02:13 - What Do the Giants Do With Rafael Devers? 00:31:34 - Bryce Harper Hits for the Cycle 00:40:26 - Whose Legacy Would Most Benefit From a World Series Ring? 00:48:08 - Jake Bauers Joins BID 01:21:54 - Byron Buxton Wants to Stay in Minnesota 01:35:25 - Housekeeping Around the League 01:39:19 - Home Run Derby Update 01:46:11 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:55:32 - Final Thoughts NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 get $20 on Kalshi - https://app.kalshi.com/1r91/BID Sign Up For Our Patreon for more Baseball Is Dead Content! https://www.patreon.com/cw/BaseballisDead For simple, online access to personalized and affordable care for Hair Loss, ED, Weight Loss, and more, visit Hims.com/BID Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at shopify.com/DEAD
