The baseball world is still buzzing about the shocking trade that sent Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants only two seasons after the Boston Red Sox signed him to an 11-year contract extension. While Devers is already making a great first impression by the Bay, there are still questions about why Boston traded away yet another superstar from their roster.Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Devers' debut with the Giants, including a star-studded press conference and already mashing in his first game, as well as whether he could play a position the Red Sox once hoped he'd fill when the team rolls into San Francisco this weekend.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan welcome journalist Joon Lee to try to make sense of the trade from the Red Sox's side.

The final weekend of spring brought the summer heat with some wild activity around the MLB on Fathers' Day. The Boston Red Sox & Rafael Devers drama came to a conclusion Sunday as Boston shocked the baseball world and traded Devers to the San Francisco Giants.

A stunned Jake and Jordan breakdown the trade and try to figure out what exactly Boston was thinking. Plus, they get into how it changes the Giants' roster and how the only team left in The Bay might plan to use their new star.Shohei Ohtani has been making plenty of pitching appearances, in practice, over the last few weeks while the rest of the baseball world anxiously anticipates his return to the mound. The Dodgers have been very non-committal as to when that return will be, but all of that changed Sunday night. The Dodgers announced Ohtani will make his pitching return Monday against the Padres.

This past weekend saw the latest chapter in the greatest rivalry in baseball as the Boston Red Sox took on the New York Yankees in the Bronx. While there never needs to be an extra level of competitiveness between the two clubs, Sunday's starter for Boston gave the Bronx Bombers a little extra incentive to try to show him up. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Hunter Dobbins' absurd comment that made headlines about retiring before signing with the Yankees right before he went on to have a solid outing in the Red Sox's series-clinching game.

With the Midsummer Classic set to take place in Atlanta at Truist Park on July 15th, today is the day that All-Star Game ballots have dropped—and it's up to the public to make their choices. While some players might be locks to start the game (looking at you, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani), there are a few sports that could see some interesting position battles. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman go down the ballots for the American and National League squads, making their picks for who they think should be voted in as starters. They wonder if Juan Soto can beat out an impressive trio of NL outfielders, why Dave Roberts could be selective with his Los Angeles Dodgers players and whether Rafael Devers even bothers to bring a glove with him to Atlanta. Later on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys examine the weird season that the Atlanta Braves are having—and why it's oddly similar to the Boston Red Sox—before going around the league to discuss all the injury news surrounding the Houston Astros and New York Mets, among other teams. They close the show with the latest news surrounding the Men's and Women's College World Series.(3:38) - AL All-Star starting squad(20:54) - NL All-Star starting squad(40:29) - What's up with the Braves?(56:45) - BBQ Boo Boo List updates(1:07:26) - College World Series news  Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

I'll take unlikely pitchers to strike out Shohei Ohtani for 200 please. We let Sally Jenkins and Jake Mintz take the lead on the “permanent ends when you're dead” rant re Pete and the other formerly permanently ineligibles. Will Andy Pages be the player that gets Pottymouth to manage her fantasy team more closely? Maybe! Patti's team is again short a 3rd baseman but the math is working out. PCA's newest stats are rivaling those of the new Pope for Chicago-based excitement. We thought the BOS gag was going to be Who's On First but it turned out to be who is in the outfield because the new City Connects are Fenway camo for the guys near the wall. Kudos to the second place finisher in a Maine high school track event for calling out Rep. Laurel Libby as a bully for “maligning” the trans-identified athlete who won the event. And we crosstrain with ornithology because even after Brandon Hyde got fired only one kind of oriole is fun to watch right now.We say, “I wanna piggyback on the joy,” “who wouldn't want to swing a rainbow banner?” and “I hate it when drag queens make me cry.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
