What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Vinny Rotino 0:02
Yeah, Mario and Hyde Park, 104.3 the score, and it is going down. Today is trade deadline day. Rahimi Harris and Grody are live with you from 10 to 2. We will react. We will listen to all of the trade deadline discussion. The latest right now trending is that the Texas Rangers are eyeing trades for Seager, DeGrom, and Yovaldi. Now, Yovaldi has a no trade clause, but man, they are selling.
Marshall Harris 0:26
Jacob deGrom is a White Sox. Can I sign anyone up for that?
Vinny Rotino 0:29
Jacob deGrom for anybody. Like, Jacob deGrom on 104.3, the score. Sir, can you just stand there and throw fastballs? Thank you. That's cool.

What breaking trade-deadline rumors are being reported this morning?

Vinny Rotino 0:39
Man, I'm very curious to see where he goes. John Palmarosi reporting, heard the Rangers are willing to listen on Mackenzie Gore and Jacob Latz as well. Price is high because neither is a pending free agent. So they're selling. That's the other thing, too, is... We didn't necessarily know, especially in the American League, Marshall, who is going to be buyers and who is going to be sellers. And we're already kind of seeing that take shape.
Marshall Harris 0:59
Tells you what is going to happen today is very much moment by moment.
Vinny Rotino 1:05
Ray Diaz is informing us of a trade. Breaking news on the score is sponsored by IDOT. Running late, speeding won't save you time. No need to speed. It's not a game. Are we on a spaceship?
Mark Grody 1:16
We are on a trade deadline news spaceship. Jeff Passan is reporting the Atlanta Braves are acquiring left-handed reliever Brent Suter from the Los Angeles Angels for infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. Nacho.
Vinny Rotino 1:31
You really just wanted to say Nacho Alvarez, didn't you?
Mark Grody 1:33
Because he's Nacho.
Vinny Rotino 1:35
I did. Okay, so here's the news with that. This would confirm the Angels are doing what? Selling. Where's Reed Detmers going, everybody? Where is Reed Detmers going to go?
Marshall Harris 1:47
Cubs have needs. I feel like they don't have to do Reed Detmers, though, because he's got so much control left.
Vinny Rotino 1:51
Okay, so Mark Feinstein says the Brewers are pursuing Clay Holmes.
Marshall Harris 1:56
That's problematic.
Vinny Rotino 1:56
See, here I was all relieved that Peralta wasn't going back to the Brewers. He ends up going to the Rays. This also from Feinstein. He works with MLB.com. The Mets are expected to deal him by 6 p.m. Eastern. That is the time of the trade deadline.

Which teams are buying and selling at the deadline and why does it matter?

Vinny Rotino 2:10
Joel Sherman first mentioned Milwaukee's interest. Now, Bob Nightingale had said the White Sox were interested in Clay Holmes.
Marshall Harris 2:18
One of the things about the White Sox is they've been very stout. They weren't going to give up any of their top 10 prospects, top 100 prospects in baseball. And what I love about what they've done so far, Layla, is they've added a quality starting pitcher and a big time bullpen. They basically said, Sir Anthony Dominguez, go away. We're going to get somebody better than you at your job.
Vinny Rotino 2:38
Surf Anthony Dominguez. Surf Anthony Dominguez.
Marshall Harris 2:41
That's brilliance. Punny is all get out.
Vinny Rotino 2:44
Help us on a Monday. Major League Baseball, by the way, put out the pitchers for the month of July. The relievers are two guys you thought might be traded. Aroldis Chapman, 12 innings, 17 strikeouts, and 075 ERA and 10 saves.
Marshall Harris 2:58
That's pretty good.
Vinny Rotino 2:58
Mason Miller, 11 innings, 19 strikeouts. Stupid. 082 ERA and seven saves. I think I don't think Chapman's going anywhere. And it sounds like if if Will Warren at a prospect isn't getting it done for more to hone, I doubt Mason Miller goes anywhere.
Marshall Harris 3:19
Well, Chapman's not going anywhere because the Boston Red Sox probably think they can win the freaking American League. And I can't argue with them because they've won 23 of their last 26.
Vinny Rotino 3:27
Yeah. So, yeah. The 15-game win streak they are proving was not a fluke. It's just who they are at this point in time. Right now, by the way, it still says TBD for Dodgers on MLB.com. Matt Boyd is starting in Game 1 of this series. We expect and think that Tarek Skubal is going to get the start tomorrow.

Which early trades did the show highlight and what are the reactions?

Marshall Harris 3:47
Mm-hmm.
Vinny Rotino 3:47
National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, no less.
Marshall Harris 3:51
Is there a correlation there with the National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day? Is Cookie Monster throwing out the first pitch? That's my next question.
Vinny Rotino 3:56
Yeah, I don't know. I do know that I get to judge the cookie contest for the Cubs tomorrow.
