Hour 3: As the trade deadline approaches, the San Francisco Giants are looking to shake up their roster and make some moves. In this episode, we're joined by Jim Bowden, a former MLB GM and current writer for The Athletic, to break down the latest news and rumors surrounding the Giants' potential trades. From the blockbuster deal that brought Rafael Devers to the Giants last year to the current state of the team's farm system, Jim shares his expert analysis and insights on what the Giants can expect in the coming days. The Giants are in a seller's market, with 22 of the 30 teams within three and a half games of the playoffs. This means that the team has a unique opportunity to trade away players who are not contributing to their current season. Jim discusses the potential trades of players like Robbie Ray, Lewis Arrives, and Elliot Ramos, and what the Giants can expect to get in return. He also shares his thoughts on the team's current management, led by Buster Posey, and whether they have the experience and expertise to lead the team to success. One of the key players the Giants are looking to trade is Logan Webb, their ace pitcher. Jim weighs in on the pros and cons of trading Webb, and whether it's the right decision for the team. He also discusses the importance of building a strong farm system and developing young players, rather than relying on free agents and big-name signings. In this episode, we also hear from Jeff Kent, the newly inducted Hall of Famer, about his experiences playing for the Giants and what it means to be part of the team's legacy. He shares stories about his time with the team, including his relationships with players like Barry Bonds and Dusty Baker, and how they helped shape him into the player he became.

Join us in-person or online as legendary baseball player and manager Dusty Baker explores his extraordinary career, one filled with invaluable lessons on perseverance, leadership, and how to live life meaningfully on the field and off.Dusty Baker walked with baseball legends and became one himself. After he signed with the Braves in 1968 at the age of 19 (against his father's wishes), no less than the great Hank Aaron promised to take Baker under his wing. Mentored by Aaron, Orlando Cepeda and Willie Mays, Baker became a premier hitter, helping take the Dodgers to a World Series victory in 1981. Along the way he spent 10 seasons as the manager of the San Francisco Giants from 1993-2002. He would later lead the Houston Astros to a championship in 2002.Baker has been respected by generations, and has come to embody the spirit of the sport. He explores this in his new book Crossroads, which delves into the mind of one of baseball's mavericks: a curious, inquisitive thinker whose deep interest in the worlds of music, wine and the simpler joys of life charts a journey of success, struggle, faith and perseverance.

In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman is joined by New York Times bestselling author Steve Eubanks to discuss his latest book, Godball — a powerful look at the growing movement of athletes speaking openly and boldly about their Christian faith. Steve shares how the idea for Godball came from noticing a major shift in sports culture. What was once often limited to quick post-game “thank you” moments has become something much deeper: athletes using interviews, press conferences, social platforms, and public moments to share their faith stories with clarity, conviction, and courage. Mark and Steve explore why this movement is happening now, how athletes are helping lead a renewed interest in faith, and why performance, trophies, wins, and careers can never fully define a person. From Scottie Scheffler and Bernhard Langer to Rose Zhang, Kirk Cousins, Dusty Baker, Dottie Pepper, and Betsy King, the conversation highlights athletes who understand that what they do is not who they are. This episode is a thoughtful conversation about faith, identity, peace, pressure, grace, revival, and the unique platform sports provides for sharing something eternal. In This Episode, You'll Discover: What inspired Steve Eubanks to write Godball Why athletes are becoming more outspoken about their faith How sports have become a platform for revival and spiritual conversation Why modern athletes are moving beyond surface-level faith comments How Scottie Scheffler models identity beyond performance Why trophies and wins cannot fill the deeper spiritual need How Gen Z and Gen Alpha are responding to authentic faith Why young men are helping drive a renewed interest in church and Scripture How COVID changed many athletes' view of time, calling, and platform Why peace is essential for athletes performing under pressure How faith helps competitors handle failure, transition, and identity loss Why grace, redemption, and spiritual grounding matter in sports and life. Key Takeaways:  Athletes are using their platforms more intentionally to share their faith. Performance may define what an athlete does, but it should never define who they are. Sports reveal merit, pressure, failure, discipline, and resilience in a very public way. Many athletes are discovering that trophies do not provide lasting peace. True peace does not come from positive thinking alone, but from a deeper spiritual foundation. Younger generations are drawn to authenticity, and they can quickly recognize what is real. Faith gives athletes a way to process success, failure, pressure, and life after competition. The current faith movement in sports is not isolated — it is visible across golf, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, and more.
