With the MLB trade deadline looming, it's time to put on our general manager hats and cook up some creative deals that are sure to make some noise. Even though there might be more buyers than sellers this year because so many teams are still in the playoff race, these eight ideas could be possible—or they could be completely crazy. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman cook up some trades that could help bolster lineups and rotations. Among the possible deals, the guys wonder if the Pittsburgh Pirates could make a play for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal to add him to their dynamic rotation. They also discuss whether the New York Yankees could trade Jasson Domínguez and Will Warren to the Athletics in exchange for a new catcher. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan are joined by Yuri Karasawa to discuss the impact that Rintaro Sasaki signing with the Miami Marlins could have on future Japanese players looking to make the leap to the major leagues. They also discuss why Shohei Ohtani might be kicking himself for missing out on a Cy Young Award this year, the impact Munetaka Murakami has had in America and two players to keep an eye on in NPB. They close out the episode by making their weekly picks in The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 2:03 - The Opener: Eight crazy trade ideas 5:38 - Skubal to Pirates 11:09 - Zach Neto to Red Sox 16:16 - Yankees get a catcher 23:37 - Mason Miller for Bubba Chandler 28:31 - Yuri Karasawa joins the show: Rintaro Sasaki's impact 47:15 - Shohei Ohtani's Cy Young quest 56:21 - Which NPB players to watch 1:04:19 - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
With every baseball team back in action tonight following the All-Star break, with the exception of the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, who returned on Thursday, it's time to take a look at some of the biggest headlines of the second half of the season. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman dive into key player returns, possible trades, and award races, including when Aaron Judge might return to the New York Yankees and whether the Detroit Tigers will trade Tarik Skubal. They also discuss whether Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani could make a legitimate run at the NL Cy Young Award and whether there might be a surprise contender for the AL MVP. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the trade between the Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros that saw Lance McCullers and Colton Gordon traded for Jayden Fielder, the Cincinnati Reds giving pitcher Chase Burns a contract extension and MLB restricting how teams can use iPads in the dugout. The guys close out the show by making their weekly picks in The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 1:36 – The Opener: Second-half storylines, Judge return? 7:09 – Will the Tigers trade Skubal? 13:08 – Trade deadline action? 20:06 – Postseason Cinderellas 27:10 – AL MVP race? 32:14 – Ohtani for Cy Young? 36:00 – Around the League: Trade, Burns extension 42:04 – MLB iPad restrictions 47:20 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
The Cubs sent three Hall of Famers (and Rick Sutcliffe) to the 1987 All-Star Game, and fifth joined as honorary coach. One of them was playing on a bad foot, one of them was in the midst of an MVP season, one of them should have won the Cy Young and the other guy ended up pitching more than anybody else in the game and wore the wrong batting helmet, both for reasons. Join Mike D. and Andy as they rewatch the game, and marvel at just how much a 39 year old NBC broadcast looks and feels as good, if not better than the stuff we're stuck with today.
The MLB season has reached the All-Star break, which means it's time to hand out some midseason report cards. Tonight I'm revisiting my preseason award predictions to see what I nailed, what I completely missed, and who is leading the races for MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, and more. We'll also break down the biggest surprises, disappointments, and make fresh predictions for the second half of the season. Join the conversation live and tell me where you think I got it right—or totally blew it.

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.

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 start off hot with talk about how dreadful 9:30 PM Sunday night baseball games are, as well as the Tooth Fairy and Baby Kane's second birthday. Tyler pulls out the dustiest frame anyone's ever seen before being asked to eulogize Triston Casas' season and, potentially, his Red Sox career.

Aroldis Chapman closed the door on the third game as the guys chat about Sonny Gray's All-Star chances and bask in the glory of the 76-degree Red Sox. The series didn't pass without a setback, though, as Ranger Suarez was pulled from his start with a groin injury that the guys react to live.

Guests: Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber, infielder Luis Urias; Houston Astros outfielder Joey Loperfido This week in Deep Left Field, we talk to Shane Bieber after his first start of the season, coming almost three months after opening day. The former Cy Young award winner opens up about working his way back to full health and his disappointment in that first outing, with hopes for better in the second half. We're also joined by Joey Loperfido, a favourite in the Jays' 2025 clubhouse - and a great contributor when given the opportunity - who was traded back to the Astros this spring for Jesus Sanchez. As it turns out, we gave Loperfido the DLF bump, unfortunately for the Blue Jays. And we'll play "Meet The New Guy" with Luis Urias, who the Jays acquired from Arizona earlier in the week. The 29-year-old homered in his first game before making a huge base running blunder in his second. All that, plus a dip into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!
Fred and Dave Dameshek talk about low testosterone, hair dye and botox. Ned Colletti joins us to offer perspective on Ohtani's Cy Young chase and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A high-stakes Monday schedule fundamentally shifted the fantasy landscape as ace starters faced starkly contrasting fates, strategic bullpen management unlocked massive streaming value, and a wave of superstar injury activations prepared to reshape active lineups. Corey Pieper returns to dive deep into a critical slate of performances, breaking down brilliant bounceback campaigns, alarming pitching regressions, crucial bullpen developments, and a fresh FanDuel Bet of the Day target. The elite pitching tier delivered extreme polarization to start the week. Kyle Bradish put together an absolute masterclass, stifling hitters across eight scoreless frames with nine strikeouts, while Michael King was equally spectacular, preservation-perfect over seven shutout innings with five punchouts. Brandon Woodruff was utterly electric in his return, silencing opposition bats with 10 strikeouts across six dominant, one-hit frames to hold off an equally sharp Brady Singer. Framber Valdez flashed stellar form with eight strikeouts over six frames of one-run ball, and Michael Wacha outdueled Drew Rasmussen by logging seven frames of one-run stability. Conversely, Gerrit Cole ran into an absolute buzzsaw, shelled for five earned runs on nine hard hits in a brief 4.1-inning exit, leaving fantasy managers sweating over his structural consistency. Meanwhile, strategic bulk-relievers stealing wins behind openers became an absolute goldmine; Eric Lauer fired six hitless, spectacular frames out of the bullpen, Alan Rangel tossed five innings of one-run ball, and highly touted prospect Kumar Rocker fanned nine batters across five stellar bulk frames to eclipse Tyler Phillips. The waiver and injury landscape is shifting beneath our feet with massive high-impact reinforcements on the immediate horizon. Fantasy managers can officially rejoice as Cincinnati's dynamic superstar Elly De La Cruz is locked in for his Tuesday activation from the hamstring injured list, while former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber is ready to make his long-awaited season debut for the Blue Jays. San Francisco is also on the verge of an incredible depth boost, with Francisco Lindor and flame-throwing righty Eury Perez trending aggressively toward a potential Wednesday return. On the critical tracking front, MVP centerpiece Bobby Witt Jr. sat out Monday's action but remains highly optimistic about avoiding a costly IL stint, while Kyle Tucker continues to manage lower back spasms. On the downside, both Dalton Rushing and Jeremy Peña triggered concern by leaving their respective contests early due to apparent physical tweaks. We wrap up the program with a comprehensive, deep-dive Bullpen Report tracking sudden closer instability. We analyze Ryan Helsley's uncharacteristic recent structural struggles, evaluate Jaden Hill's ascending leverage role in Colorado alongside Elvis Alvarado's concurrent high-leverage blown-save regression, navigate the cloudy late-inning committee situation for the Chicago Cubs, and dissect highly unusual, rough high-leverage outings from trusted anchors Cade Smith and Aroldis Chapman.

Episode 434: The dawn of a new era has arrived. Baseball Is Dead Family Feud has leveled up with the addition of a rotating fourth player. 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.

Is Shohei Ohtani the greatest athlete of all time? This week, John Smoltz joins the show to weigh in on one of the biggest debates in sports. Smoltz not only faced some of the greatest athletes ever—he was also teammates with Deion Sanders. So when it comes to comparing Deion and Shohei Ohtani, his opinion carries more weight than almost anyone else's. We discuss Ohtani's incredible season as he lowers his ERA to 0.74 while raising his batting average above .300, continuing one of the most remarkable two-way stretches baseball has ever seen. Plus, we dive into whether the Yankees can survive without Aaron Judge, Cristopher Sanchez's dominant scoreless streak, and whether he has emerged as a legitimate Cy Young favorite alongside Ohtani. All that and more with Hall of Famer John Smoltz on this week's episode of Flippin' Bats.
