There are times when you need to just step back and enjoy greatness. Shohei Ohtani is one of those players we're lucky to be watching play this great game of baseball right now, and he's moving up lately for his dominance on the mound. He's not the only one climbing the ranks though, as players like Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Woodruff are also on the rise. But injuries to stars like Bryce Harper and Salvador Perez have them sliding way down, and early season standouts Tarik Skubal and Eric Lauer are also falling. Your hosts discuss whether or not Bo Bichette will be better than Dansby Swanson rest of season and just how underrated Adolis Garcia is.

Se sigue postergando el arbitraje de Aaron Judge y no se sabe cuanto dinero más estan los Yankees dispuestos a ofrecer. La lista de equipos que pretenden a "El Juez" es larga y llena de muchos lujos. Entérate también, de las actuaciones destacadas en la jornada de ayer en Grandes Ligas, de bateadores como Jurickson Profar, Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmitd, Yordan Alvarez, Austin Hayes, Bo Bichette, Alejandro Kirk y Adam Duvall, así como otra joya monticular de Shohei Ohtani. De todo eso y más, trata nuestra edición de hoy en Baseball News, tu noticiero numero 1 de beisbol de MLB.

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 7-6 loss in extras at the hands of the White Sox in Chicago. He takes your calls and texts, and gets right into the strike zone squeezing almost every Blue Jays batter, including Bo Bichette, Matt Chapman, and (especially) Santiago Espinal. He discusses the encouraging start from Kevin Gausman despite the loss, how Jordan Romano got beat up at the worst possible time, and if there are any true concerns with the star closer. Plus, a discussion on the backend of the starting rotation, the development of pitchers across the organization, and how Alejandro Kirk continues to deserve votes as a 2022 MLB All-Star. 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.

Keegan Matheson of MLB.com joined the OverDrive guys earlier today ahead of the Jays series versus the Yankees. He touched on the status of Bo Bichette, how Gabriel Moreno has looked in his first week of MLB action, Kirk's bat, the opportunity ahead for Cavan Biggio & lots of Chicken Strips talk!

Eno and DVR discuss how the top of the draft board would look different today compared to the final ADP of 2022. How much would Vlad Jr. and Bo Bichette slide? Who would replace Walker Buehler in the Top 15 overall? And how much would Aaron Judge's injury history factor into his re-do ROS draft slot?
