Episode 77: Dealing at the Deadline

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing MLB players using their voices to postpone numerous games last week as a form of protest, before diving into Lucas Giolito's no-hitter against the Pirates, a case of COVID-19 hitting the Athletics, and an eventful week for the Mets, including Brodie Van Wagenen speaking out against Rob Manfred, and Steve Cohen entering exclusive negotiations to buy the team. From there, we dissect the MLB Trade Deadline, highlighting specifically moves by the Padres (Mike Clevinger, Mitch Moreland, Trevor Rosenthal, and Austin Nola amongst others) Blue Jays (Taijuan Walker, Robbie Ray, Jonathan Villar, and Ross Stripling) Marlins (Starling Marte) Reds (Archie Bradley) Athletics (Tommy La Stella and Mike Minor) and Mets (Todd Frazier, Miguel Castro, Robinson Chirinos.)
