Show notes
Cody Clemens shocks the league with a walk-off grand slam as the Minnesota Twins rally from a no-hit bid, sparking questions about whether they should chase the playoffs or commit to a rebuild. The trade deadline looms, and contenders like the Yankees, Dodgers, and Rays scramble to address injuries and lineup gaps—will Shohei Ohtani’s absence and Shane McClanahan’s back tightness shift the balance of power?
Brian McKeon and Chuck Freimund break down chaotic finishes, buyer-or-seller dilemmas, and major performances, from Sean Burke's 10-strikeout start for the Chicago White Sox to Elly De La Cruz’s record-setting night for the Cincinnati Reds. Key topics include potential blockbuster moves for Tarik Skubal or Mason Miller, bullpen woes for the Yankees, and surprise surges from teams like the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox. With October dreams and trade rumors swirling, where does your team stand as the deadline frenzy begins?
