 The White Sox roared ... well, squeaked ... through the trade deadline, sending off only Adrian Houser and Austin Slater and getting back all of three minor league pitchers (only one of them even listed on any teams top 50 prospects) and one utility infielder. Duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, talk about the White Sox activity or lack thereof, including what the future may mean for Luis Robert Jr., and then wander into the more interesting world of teams that actually got better ... or in some cases, worse (looking at you, Twins) ... and what all that may mean. The duo also consider the strong possibility the AL Central is headed back to its usual doldrums after a brief sojourn into adequacy in 2024, and commiserate with Guardians star José Ramírez, who deserves a better fate than playing for a team that doesn't seem to care any more. Of course, there is fun talking about the post-All Star break offensive surge for the White Sox, and chat about just how real Colson Montgomery should be considered at this point. Speaking of fun, there are also a few chortles about how little the other team in town did on the trading front, with best wishes for the team north of the state line to whip them soundly.

Sean Baligian returns from the sweltering heat of Greece only to face the equally oppressive Michigan summer—and he's had enough. In this episode of Off The Air, Sean vents about the weather, preseason football overreactions, and the Tigers' underwhelming trade deadline moves. He calls out the illusion of "meaningful" NFL exhibition games, criticizes the Tigers' front office's commitment to winning, and argues for proven talent over feel-good stories.With college football just 25 days away and the Lions about to kick off preseason, Sean weighs in on expectations, roster spots, and the frustrating state of the AL Central. Plus, he dives into fan comments, shares some classic Livonia Stevenson rivalry memories, and reflects on why A.J. Hinch might be the Tigers' best asset right now.Whether you're ready for fall or still relaxing by the pool, this episode delivers a passionate blend of Detroit sports insight, humor, and no-nonsense takes.

The Detroit Tigers snapped another six-game losing streak with a 10-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on July 27, thanks to a three-run home run by Gleyber Torres. The Tigers have lost 12 of their last 14 games, but they still have an eight-game lead in the American League Central. Tigers beat writer Evan Petzold evaluates the losing stretch on Days of Roar, joined by Chris Castellani of Chris and Company. Petzold and Castellani discuss their panic meter, both for winning the AL Central and the World Series. They are also looking ahead to the trade deadline, scheduled for 6 p.m. July 31. What is the No. 1 priority for the Tigers? How can the Tigers acquire slugger Eugenio Suárez? How much help does the bullpen really need? Bullpen expert Greg Jewett joins Days of Roar to dig deeper into the reliever market at the trade deadline. He believes the Tigers could acquire popular closers David Bednar (Pittsburgh Pirates), Ryan Helsley (St. Louis Cardinals) and Raisel Iglesias (Atlanta Braves), but he also mentions several under-the-radar trade candidates for the Tigers within the next few days.

In this episode of Off The Air, Sean Baligian and special guest Michael Bochenek dive into the Tigers' staggering collapse after riding high atop the AL Central. What started as a season of promise has unraveled into a brutal 1–11 stretch, with Detroit getting blown out night after night. Sean and Mike dissect the complete breakdown across the roster—lifeless bats, unreliable pitching, and a front office that appears paralyzed ahead of the trade deadline. They question whether Torkelson, Greene, and Baez can be counted on, and debate whether Skubal should be extended or flipped while his value's sky-high. With no reinforcements in sight, they challenge the organization's long-game strategy and ask: if you're not pushing all in now, when will you? Beyond baseball, the episode touches on the Lions' missed opportunities, the pain of 2006, 2009, and 2013 for Tigers fans, and why Detroit sports fans are long past patience. This is one of the rawest and most urgent episodes of the season.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk all things MLB. The 2025 MLB season has reached its midpoint, and this comprehensive analysis covers every division with in-depth insights, team trajectories, betting odds, and trade deadline expectations. In the National League West, the Dodgers hold a firm lead despite recent struggles, with the Diamondbacks falling apart due to injuries and shifting into sell mode. San Diego and San Francisco trail closely but have struggled with consistency. The NL Central has turned into a race between the Cubs and Brewers. The Cubs benefit from the easiest second-half schedule and are positioned to buy key players, while the Brewers boast bullpen strength and recent form despite a tougher road ahead. The Mets and Phillies lead a tense NL East battle, separated by just half a game, with both teams healthy and ready to spend at the deadline. Meanwhile, the Braves' collapse due to poor road performance has effectively eliminated them from contention. In the American League, the Astros control the AL West, built on elite pitching and a dominant bullpen, while Yordan Álvarez's return could be pivotal. Seattle is competitive but lacks offensive consistency outside of Cal Raleigh. The Rangers struggle on the road but remain in the wild card hunt. The AL Central is ruled by the Tigers, who lead by 11.5 games with the best record in MLB. Other division teams like the Twins, Guardians, and Royals trail far behind and show little sign of catching up. The AL East is a four-team war among the Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays. The Blue Jays dominate at home but are vulnerable on the road. The Yankees are aggressive buyers with deep pockets, while Boston's win streak thrust them into the race before a brutal post-break schedule. Tampa Bay has cooled off and may fade. Baltimore, once hyped, is now out of the conversation. Player performance and team value are heavily discussed, such as the Astros' closing combo of Hader and Abreu, the Mariners' unexpected offense, and concerns over Mookie Betts and the Dodgers' injuries. Betting odds provide deeper context. Dodgers and Tigers lead World Series projections, but analysts recommend the Astros (10:1), Blue Jays (20:1), Padres (28:1), and Mets (9:1) for better returns. These teams combine talent with upside and have the potential to strengthen at the deadline. The episode ends by highlighting key second-half questions: Can underperformers bounce back? Will top teams stay healthy? Who will be the most aggressive buyers? And which wild card hopefuls will surge? The next two months promise a thrilling path to October baseball.
