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.

The 2026 Boston Red Sox have given their fans quite the ride over the past four months. After a rough start to the season that saw manager Alex Cora lose his job, they now find themselves on a 13-game winning streak and suddenly in a wild card spot. They're also just seven games out of first place in the AL East. Is a division title in the cards? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the historic run Boston has been on, including sweeping their rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays, this past weekend. They highlight how the Red Sox bullpen has been incredibly strong during this stretch, as well as the offensive contributions from Willson Contreras, Wilyer Abreu and Caleb Durbin. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan discuss the surprising news that Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani will put pitching on hold for the rest of the season as he battles a leg injury, and whether Pete Crow-Armstrong could overtake the Japanese star for the NL MVP award. They also break down the Toronto Blue Jays getting a reality check from the Chicago White Sox this past weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers sweeping the Miami Marlins and recap all the other action from around baseball.   1:15 - The Opener: Red Sox win streak 21:54 - We Need To Talk About: Ohtani steps off the mound 32:52 - PCA vs. Ohtani for MVP? 39:39 - How Sweep It Is: Brewers sweep Marlins 52:13 - Blue Jays get a reality check 55:32 - Field Report: Skenes guts it out vs. Guardians 1:01:56 - How Sweep It Is: Weekend recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Guests: Blue Jays World Series champions Tom Henke, Juan Guzman, Todd Stottlemyre In this special bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we take you to this past weekend's celebration of the Blue Jays 1992 and '93 World Series championship teams that culminated in the unveiling of a statue of Joe Carter in mid-leap after hitting the walk-off home run to win the '93 fall classic. This episode was supposed to be a happy one, catching up with a few Jays legends, but the tragic death of Duane Ward cast a pall over the weekend. We pay tribute to "Wardo," a great friend and iconic Blue Jay, and then share conversations from Saturday's media availability with pitchers Tom Henke, Juan Guzman and Todd Stottlemyre, who have five Jays World Series rings between them. Those conversations all took place before anyone knew that Ward had passed away.

Ben Ennis and Sam McKee wrap up Monday morning by chatting with Footy Prime co-host James Sharman about the World Cup finals. They discuss Spain's performance, Argentina's tactics, and Messi's future. The conversation shifts to England's semi-final disappointment and its parallels with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Will Canada host another World Cup? After the break, former MLB catcher Joe Siddall (25:11) analyzes the Blue Jays' series against the White Sox, addressing the offense's struggles, pitching performance, and the state of the bullpen. Does the team's performance matter if the offense remains stagnant? The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Ben Ennis and Sam McKee open the second hour by breaking down the Blue Jays' return from the All-Star break. They focus on the team's ongoing offensive struggles, George Springer's role, Trey Yesavage's importance to the pitching staff, the possibility of becoming sellers, and the importance of the upcoming series against Tampa Bay and Boston. They also pay tribute to Duane Ward following news of his passing. Later, Sportsnet golf analyst Adam Stanley joins the show to discuss Ryan Fox's victory at Royal Birkdale, whether it signals a breakthrough or a one-off performance, the impact of marquee players on the tour, Bryson DeChambeau's controversial weekend, Rory McIlroy's comments, and the rivalry between the two golfers. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

In the 2nd hour of the show, Steve Sandor joins us off the hop to discuss the World Cup and the state of Canada soccer! Then we got the Early Bird Bet for Play Alberta where the boys threw some money on the Blue Jays. After the update, Chris Streveler joins the guys to discuss everything CFL as we wrap up Week 7. Then the guys dive into the Elks taking the win over the Lions to move to 5-1. Elks defense comes out big and makes up for the lackluster offense. And to end the hour, Mmmm That's Good for the Italian Centre!

Griffin Warner talks sports betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner delivers a leaner but sharp episode of What I Bet built around the only two events worth betting on this Tuesday, the World Cup semifinal between Spain and France at AT&T Stadium in Arlington and the Major League Baseball All Star Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Griffin opens at 0:32 by setting the stage for Spain and France, two nations that entered the tournament as co favorites at 5 to 1 odds as of July 3rd but have since diverged, with France now installed as the clear favorite needing a win in regulation to cover the spread. At 1:17 Griffin lays out his case for Spain, arguing that their possession based style works identically whether they are favored or underdogs, a trait he considers rare in knockout soccer, and noting the team is getting healthier at the right time. At 1:33 he acknowledges France's individual talent, led by Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, both of whom scored from outside the box in a 2 to 0 quarterfinal win over Morocco discussed at 2:03, while questioning whether longtime manager Didier Deschamps offers much beyond simply fielding the more talented roster. By 2:18 Griffin lands on his headline soccer pick, backing Spain as a quarter goal underdog and urging listeners to grab the number immediately before it shifts, explaining that the quarter goal split between a pick em portion and a plus one half portion protects bettors with a partial cash return if the match extends into extra time, which he expects given Spain's discipline defending against counterattacks. At 2:48 he shares his lean on the two and a half goal total, expecting the public to favor the over given the star power on both rosters while he sees a low scoring, controlled match shaping up instead, landing at 3:19 on a combined recommendation of Spain under the total and Spain to advance outright near plus 130 depending on the sportsbook. The show pivots to baseball at 3:49, with Griffin outlining the All Star Game lines, a National League team favored at minus 128 against the American League at plus 116, and a total of eight runs priced at minus 104 to the under and minus 116 to the over. At 4:20 he explains his general approach to exhibition baseball, trusting that the sport's best pitchers will suppress even the hottest first half hitters, despite acknowledging Philadelphia's shorter outfield dimensions raise the risk profile for an under play. At 4:50 Griffin spends real time on the Toronto Blue Jays' dominant presence in All Star voting following last season's seven game World Series run, highlighting Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s selection as the American League's starting first baseman despite a career worst first half that included stretches of just five home runs, and wondering aloud whether a taxing offseason program contributed to the decline. At 5:05 he notes Blue Jays manager John Schneider is running the American League dugout, tying the assignment to Toronto's pennant winning season, and projects a National League win that should mean fewer total at bats and a lower final score. After a quick promotional break at 5:35 pointing listeners toward pregame dot com and the CUP15 discount code for 15 dollars off any package, including Griffin's World Cup All Access pass covering the tournament's final four match days for 60 dollars instead of 75, Griffin previews an upcoming return to full scale baseball coverage once the World Cup wraps this Sunday and marks the milestone of six years and 64 episodes of Pregame Network podcasting. He closes at 6:51 with his top play of the night, the under eight runs total in the All Star Game, built on the theory that elite pitching wins out over hot hitting even in a hitter friendly ballpark, and offers the under first five innings at 7:07 as a higher variance alternative for bettors wanting extra action, reasoning that without extra innings or the Manfred Man rule extending the game the first five inning number offers a cleaner read on true scoring pace. Griffin signs off previewing Tuesday's World Cup semifinal as the centerpiece of the show's next episode and thanking listeners for their continued support of What I Bet and the wider Straight Outta Vegas AM lineup on the Pregame Network.
