We're officially less than one week away from the July 31st Major League Baseball trade deadline and some teams are already making moves. On Thursday night, the Seattle Mariners acquired Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, a strong move that might have multiple implications for both teams as they head into the ever so important deadline season.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why this trade from the D-backs might signal they're ready to start selling off some highly desirable players before the deadline and why it's no surprise that Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto is already taking action to boost Seattle's chances in the wild card race. Which player could be next to go from Arizona in the next few days?The guys are then joined by Josh Luber, co-founder of StockX and founder of Ghostwrite, to talk about his experience in the sports collectibles world.

The Los Angeles Dodgers went into Tuesday night  riding a four-game losing streak, hoping that Clayton Kershaw could get them back into the win column to calm fans' nerves. However, it was the Milwaukee Brewers' young buck Jacob Misiorowski who outdueled the future Hall of Famer, handed LA another loss and started to raise some concerns among the Dodger Blue faithful. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why they're not overly concerned about the Dodgers' recent play and what big problem does worry them if it's not fixed by the postseason.

On Wednesday night, Clayton Kershaw made baseball history, becoming only the 20th pitcher in MLB history to reach the 3,000 career strikeout mark.

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.

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.
