Baseball is Dead

Episode 447: The Trade Deadline is quickly approaching, and it's time for teams to start making decisions on who is staying and who is going.  Jared, Tyler, and Jay Hay break down the major pieces rumored to be on the move this trade deadline, including Tarik Skubal, Mason Miller, Jeremy Peña, and more. The guys discuss who should buy, who should sell, and what a realistic trade package for a player like Tarik Skubal would look like. The Blue Jays' puzzling season has the crew wondering whether the team that was one out away from the World Series last year should start moving pieces for the future. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox are on the verge of tying and breaking their franchise record for wins in a row. Jared and Tyler reflect on the ride and share their feelings heading into a doubleheader. Jared learns about the grittiest player in baseball, and Max Fried's return to the Bronx mound leads the guys to discuss how the Yankees can shore up their roster for another postseason run.

Episode 446: The second half of the MLB season is officially underway. Winning streaks aplenty are coming out of theAll-Star break, highlighted by the Red Sox pushing their streak to 13 games in a row while seemingly making a push for Athletics star catcher Shea Langeliers. The guys recap every series since the break — from Pirates-Guardians toNationals-A's and Dodgers-Yankees. They chat about every team and dive deep into the American League East. The injury to Yankees captain Aaron Judge has gripped the Yankees' offense. Dallas asks whether it's possible we don't see Judge return this season and what that could mean for the Bronx Bombers. Jared discusses the disappointing season the defending American League champions, the Toronto Blue Jays, are having, as well as a pair of young pitchers who recently signed long-term extensions with their clubs.

Episode 445: All-Star Festivities lit up Philadelphia and gave us potentially one of the best Home Run Derbies of all time. The new rules and format changes are put under the microscope as Jared, Tyler, Jay Hay, and Dallas share their love for the updates and the improvements to Netflix's presentation. The American League's 4-0 victory over the National League turned out to be a surprising snoozer of an All-Star Game. Cody Bellinger took home MVP honors, but not before Dallas made his case for the only player who reached base twice in the game: Shea Langeliers. The guys also break down a story that dropped in The Athletic involving a frequent listener of the show, along with their first-half MVP and Cy Young winners.

Jared and the guys share their Home Run Derby selections before Jared heads to Media Day in Philadelphia. Jay Hay, Dallas, and Tyler stick around to talk about how sweep-happy the league was in its final series before the break. They also chat about the draft that took place this weekend.

Episode 443: Dallas, Jay Hay, Jared, and Tyler react to a loaded week of news in the baseball world. Surefire Hall of Famer Justin Verlander has announced his retirement at the end of the 2026 season. Dallas reflects on one of the greatest pitchers he ever shared the diamond with, what Verlander's career means, and the end of a bygone era for starting pitchers. Jared Jones became the latest pitcher to be pulled in the midst of a perfect game. Jared and Jay Hay dive deep into why they believe it was the right decision for both the Pirates and the Marlins. Yankees announcer Michael Kay found himself in hot water after reporting that Anthony Volpe would not be moving positions.

Episode 441: Coming off America's 250th birthday, the crew talks about an eventful weekend of baseball and touches on every series. Our guy Dallas, a man who has thrown his own perfect game, had a front-row seat for Eury Pérez's seven perfect innings. Unfortunately for baseball, seven innings is all Pérez would get, and the guys go deep into the dynamics of pulling a pitcher in the middle of a perfect game. Jared lights a candle and bids farewell to several umpires who are retiring at the end of the 2026 season, including statistically the worst umpire in baseball.  Jay Hay has a whole oven full of hot nugs coming off the holiday weekend, so tap into the best baseball podcast on the web and get your hot dog condiment thoughts ready. 00:00:00 - Jared Meets His Neighbors 00:03:20 - Fourth of July Recap | What Do You Put on Your Hot Dog? 00:13:41 - Weekend Series Recap | White Sox vs. Guardians 00:16:47 - Pirates vs. Nationals 00:18:39 - Red Sox vs. Angels 00:20:49 - Cubs vs. Cardinals 00:21:47 - Orioles vs. Reds 00:22:34 - Dodgers vs. Padres 00:25:42 - Astros vs. Rays 00:28:01 - Rockies vs. Giants 00:30:08 - Royals vs. Phillies 00:31:10 - Tigers vs. Rangers 00:33:41 - Brewers vs. Diamondbacks 00:35:02 - Twins vs. Yankees 00:38:24 - Mariners vs. Blue Jays 00:41:34 - Braves vs. Mets 00:48:43 - Pulled in the Midst of Perfection 01:29:34 - Umpires Retiring at the End of the Year 01:36:41 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:42:18 - 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 Discover upgraded basics, fresh styles, and more at http://mackweldon.com Plus, get 20% off your first order of $125 or more with code JARED.

Episode 440: The Feud is back! Baseball Is Dead's Feud returns for another 2 vs. 2 battle, with a special guest joining the program to see if they can keep the guest's undefeated streak alive. Before the feud, the guys discuss the struggles of superstar Paul Skenes. Jay Hay and Dallas dive deep into the numbers on Skenes' pitches and break down the miraculous performance of Dansby Swanson. Swanson's rise from potential worst player in baseball to the best offensive player in recent weeks has baffled the guys and couldn't have come at a better time for the Chicago Cubs.

Episode 439: The calendar page has turned again, and the Miami Marlins are hoping their strong June form carries into July. The fighting fish dominated the month and put up the best month in franchise history. The guys react to their dominance and start asking whether the Marlins should be taken seriously as playoff contenders. The benches cleared again at Fenway Park, with Willson Contreras once again finding himself in the middle of a heated moment. Cade Cavalli's quotes after the fiery punch-out only inflamed the situation, and Dallas continues to advocate for his long-held belief that these guys should be allowed to duke it out hockey style. Regression has finally caught up with Cam Schlittler—to the delight of Jared—and the Home Run Derby has found its first participant. The guys discuss whether the Derby is starting to go the way of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

Episode 437: Major changes to the Major League Baseball draft system could be on the horizon with the new CBA. The league is deciding whether to include new draft eligibility rules that would cut out all high school players from being drafted. Jared, Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler break down the pros and cons of such a radical change, the ramifications it would have across Minor League Baseball, and the substantial boost college baseball would receive if it happens. The guys dive deep into the draft with one of the best interviews in Baseball is Dead history. Projected top-5 pick Jackson Flora joins the show for a great conversation about his draft process, his favorite team growing up, and an all-time answer to the show's patented final question for guests.

Episode 436: Baseball is Dead is Down One Man. No, it's not because our guy Jared Carrabis ate 106 off his home, Saugus tough. Buster Posey feels like he just got rocked after another day of Giants stories dominating baseball. Posey's comments on the Pride Night fiasco have left Giants fans wanting more, just like the team's performance on the field. Jay Hay makes the case again for the Giants being forced to trade their ace Logan Webb, and the guys react to Rafael Devers' comments on his pinch-running incident. The Phillies lit up the Nationals in the 9th inning and are now just 5.5 games back of the first-place Atlanta Braves. The crew discusses the possibility of Philly storming back in the NL East race. Pete Crow-Armstrong's hot streak continues, but so do the injuries across the Chicago Cubs' starting rotation.

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.

Each Thursday, a new guest will join the mix to complete a 2-vs-2 round. Teammates will be bonded for life… and hearts will be broken forever. Before the feud begins, the guys break down the major change Major League Baseball made to the Home Run Derby rules — the clock is gone, replaced by a set number of swings. The crew shares their thoughts on the new format, along with the official start of award season in Casa de Carrabis. Shohei Ohtani's “struggles” on the mound have the guys intrigued as he continues his historic chase for both the MVP and Cy Young in what's shaping up to be one of the greatest National League Cy Young races in history.

Episode 433: All-Star season is officially here! The first round of voting has been released, and Dallas has officially begun his campaign for Nick Kurtz to make the All-Star Game. The conversation then shifts to a debate over who the best catcher in baseball is following Drake Baldwin's return to the Atlanta Braves. According to recent reporting, the San Francisco Giants are open for business. A disastrous season has forced Buster Posey to try to move the big contracts of Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, and Matt Chapman. The guys break down exactly what it would take to trade those massive deals and who among the three high-dollar players is the real prize. The Giants remain in the news for all the wrong reasons.

We cover Jose Soriano's hot start to the season and take a closer look at Munetaka Mirakami's rise in the AL Rookie of the Year race. -White Sox Jerry Era Has Begun -Soto's Silence -Jose Soriano Is Dominating -All Murakami Does Is Hit HRs -How Bad Are The Phillies?

The Mets are spiraling after losing their 12th straight, so Jared and Dallas discuss whether there's an identity issue. Munetaka Murakami is proving to be the best signing of the offseason for the White Sox. The Atlanta Braves are back in the NL East hunt, and Drake Baldwin can take a lot of credit for it. Meanwhile, Jared has some kind words ahead of Cam Schlittler's start in Boston tomorrow night. -Mets Lose 12 In A Row -Murakami Madness -Braves Are Back -Jared Talks Schlittler Trade $20 get $20 on Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/BID NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com For simple, online access to personalized and affordable care for Hair Loss, ED, Weight Loss, and more, visit Hims.com/BID Discover upgraded basics, fresh styles, and more at http://mackweldon.com .

The fellas discuss the absurdity of Mike Trout trade conversations and why saying he should've forced his way out has always been detached from reality. We also chat about Shohei Ohtani's pitching-only outing from Wednesday night, Sal Stewart's blistering start and the potential NL Rookie of the Year race between him and Nolan McLean.

Mike Trout is looking like his old self after three home runs in two games. Dallas sheds some light on the player perspective with Jarren Duran's run-in with a fan. Kevin McGonigle is here for the long term in Detroit.
