The Rafael Devers trade was shocking to everyone, but now it's got us thinking about what moves the Mariners could make ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline. - Louis Robert Jr- not having a great year, but could a change of scenery do the trick? - The Orioles aren't having the season they expected, but Ryan O'Hearn is having an all-star season and adding in Felix Bautista could sweeten the deal. You might have to give up Miller though, would you? - Byron Buxton is about as talented a payer as you'll find, but he's got a lengthy injury history and it's been rumored that the Twins are interested in shopping him. You might have to give up Harry Ford for him, worth it? - Salvador Perez…The Royals are having a terrible year and Perez is on the last year of his deal, so could they get rid of him? Mitch Garver and a couple prospects might be the cost and he could solve several issues for you. - Austin Riley still remains a possibility as the Braves continue to underperform, but could his large salary be the deterrent? :30- ANGIE MENTINK (ROOT Sports) joins us on rubber match day as we find even more ways to love Cal Raleigh. :45- Bucky may not be here this week, but he is dominating the Green Jackets right now and we need to praise him… as much as it pains us.

Charlie Furbush joins the show and explains to Wyman & Bob what is going wrong with this Mariners team that has gone on a free fall since the beginning of May. How does Charlie think Dan Wilson is doing so far in his first full season as the Mariners manager? How confident is he in the Mariners starting rotation that has been filled with injuries? // Would calling up Harry Ford be a good option for the Mariners to kick start this offense to get back to where they need to be? Would that be a big enough fix to help this team get back in the win column or do more moves need to be made? // Why has the Mariners bullpen struggled this season compared to seasons past? Outside of Brash and Munoz, this bullpen has been on a downswing in terms of performance and ERA.
NFL Network’s Jeffri Chadiha joins the show to tell us his prediction as to how the Seahawks will perform this season and where they stack up in the NFC West. What are his expectations for Sam Darnold this season and how he will play with Kubiak as the OC? // What QB is under the most pressure to perform this season? // NFL Headlines: Joe Burrow acknowledged that the holdout of Trey Hendrickson has been a distraction at training camp. Pete Carroll says he will be splitting reps at RB between the three they have. Josh Allen says he would love the chance to play in the 2028 Olympics. Antonio Brown is wanted by Miami police for a charge of attempted murder for a shooting Brown was allegedly involved in last month during a celebrity boxing event. // Would it make sense for the Mariners to call up Harry Ford? The Mariners offense needs a jolt, and Ford has been hitting very well in AAA Tacoma. He could possibly play some outfield as well which would allow you to carry 3 catchers on the roster.
Ian will not lose it when it comes to the Mariners right now, and he won't refuse to talk. While always a Mariners' fan, he's frustrated - but Ian isn't ready to lose his mind - he wants them to be better. Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Ian to discuss just how concerned Mariners fans should be right now with the recent downtrend. There are some silver linings - but there is reality when it comes to the injuries. Eno likes Logan Evans as a fifth spot pitcher, so is the out pitch missing? The Mariners have some flexibility with moving things around. Also, Cal Raleigh needs a break, so why not call up Harry Ford? The Daily Power Play! Game 4 takes place tonight with Florida up 2-1. Panthers know how to play greasy. Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum tells Ian what he learned from Seahawks' OTAs and whether he sees this Mike Macdonald team as a defense first unit, or whether the run game is more important.

RUNDOWN Episode 336 opens with Mitch and Hotshot back in full form, celebrating the triumphant return of the area code gimmick — this time, 336, home to Greensboro, North Carolina. Mitch dives into the city's hidden gems and famous natives, from Counting Crows bassist Millard Powers to NBA legend Bob McAdoo and Tecmo-Bowl hero Haywood Jeffires. Along the way, we get Billy Crash Craddock trivia, a “plug it in” moment, and a savage grocery store showdown involving a rogue bagger and a flustered Mitch. Emmy-winning filmmaker Rebecca Gitlitz joins the show to discuss her explosive new Netflix documentary, Untold: The Fall of Favre. The interview explores why Jen Sterger's story is only now being fully heard, the disturbing details of Favre's alleged role in the Mississippi welfare scandal, and how Gitlitz navigated fairness, fact-checking, and silence from Favre's camp. In sports, the guys unpack the Mariners' frustrating four-game set in Houston. Despite momentum going in, Seattle drops three of four, and Mitch explores why left-handed pitching continues to be their kryptonite. That sets the table for this week's Mariners No-Table with Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas, where they break down the Astros series, analyze lineup matchups, bullpen handling, and offer a blunt assessment: the M's need a right-handed bat — badly. Finally, prospect guru Jason Churchill returns to profile the Mariners' red-hot farm system. Churchill explains why he wouldn't trade Seattle's top 8 prospects for any other organization in baseball. The two dig into Cole Young's AAA breakout, Juan Soto's switch-pitching uniqueness, and how Colt Emerson and Harry Ford could fit into Seattle's long-term plans.
