With Meg Rowley on vacation, Ben Lindbergh continues his quest to (temporarily) resurrect a few dearly departed baseball podcasts. Next Up: The Bandwagon, featuring Hannah Keyser of CNN and Zach Crizer of The Bandwagon (the ongoing newsletter). Ben, Hannah, and Zach discuss Hannah’s transition from baseball specialist to sports generalist, her visit to Driveline Baseball for velocity training, and why position-player pitchers throw so slow. Then they banter about baseball bits and bobs: the buzzer-beating, pre-postseason returns of Aaron Judge and other prominent players; the future of rehab assignments; Zach’s 2026 rebuild rankings and his and Hannah’s debate about how bad David Stearns has been for the Mets; Mickey Gasper’s hot streak and Munetaka Murakami’s slump; a possible Rockies sale; Thomas Pannone’s Triple-A perfect game; and how the challenge system has affected catcher framing and defensive value, plus postscript follow-ups.

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME TO CHICAGO!
Hey Sox fans! Lots of emotions this past week. Horrible execution in Houston, although it was nice to see Davis Martin have a solid start. What was Peters doing? Despite some disappointing production with runners in scoring position, the Sox won a series against the Twins with an exclamation mark in the finale. Colson Montgomery, Munetaka Murakami and Miguel Vargas each have 30 home runs and Kyle Teel has rejoined the team. New renderings have surfaced of what the future Sox ballpark could like look three miles North of their current location. Where are the pinwheels? Sox have an off day on Monday then welcome the Pirates to town before heading to St. Louis for three. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Matt Spiegel & Ryan McGuffey debate whether or not the White Sox will give Munetaka Murakami a contract extension.
Naomi and Scott continue holding it down as Kim settles into her new family life. We talk about Hao Yu Lee, Kumar Rocker, and we ask why the hell isn't Jahmai Jones getting more at-bats? He is beyond hot right now. Then we put Munetaka Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto head to head to compare their epic rookie seasons. In the final segment we go deep into racial identity and talk about the issues of being a mixed-race Asian in the MLB. Some players openly talk about their Asian cultures, while others shy away from it. It's really just the start of a conversation that we feel is necessary as we continue to celebrate our guys as both fully AAPI, and mixed-race.

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Our first place White Sox handled their business in Detroit and swept the Tigers.

Sox head North to face a very tough Cubs team. Can Luis Castillo follow up on his gem against Cincy? One thing is for sure, this team does not quit. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Which brings us to our hot topic of the week: are Korean-born players held to a higher standard than Japanese-born players in MLB??
The Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals officially kicked off trade deadline season, completing a straightforward one-for-one swap this past weekend. The Nationals sent third baseman Curtis Mead to the Red Sox in exchange for pitcher Connelly Early, with both teams addressing organizational needs by swapping young talent. The question now is: Which teams will be the next to make a deal before the August 3 trade deadline? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down the deal, give credit to the Nationals for the long-term process that landed them the Red Sox left-hander, and wonder how Mead might fit in with Boston. They then recap both teams' victorious series from this past weekend, which saw the Red Sox take down the Toronto Blue Jays despite an impressive pitching performance from Dylan Cease, while the D-backs fell to the Nationals. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan are joined by Chicago White Sox pitcher Erick Fedde, who talks about his Pop-A-Shot dominance in the Texas Rangers' clubhouse and the success the White Sox have had thanks in part to the major contributions from Munetaka Murakami. The guys then recap the rest of the weekend's action, including the San Diego Padres possibly playing themselves out of trading Mason Miller, the Detroit Tigers possibly playing themselves into trading Tarik Skubal and the Los Angeles Dodgers failing to sweep the New York Mets in Queens. 1:18 - The Opener: Red Sox & Nats make a trade 21:31 - Successful weekend for both teams in the standings 27:30 - Erick Fedde talks Pop-A-Shot, White Sox success 44:48 - How Sweep It Is: Padres and Rays sweep 53:36 - Around The League: Tigers might be selling 57:01 - Dodgers fail to complete the sweep 1:01:07 - Turbo Mode: Weekend recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. It was Munetaka Murakami bobblehead day on the South Side and he absolutely delivered. Two home runs and six RBIs to help the Sox beat up on Houston. Murakami has been relatively quiet since returning from his hamstring injury. Hopefully this is the start of another run. The Sox are enjoying a 2.5 game lead in the Central and should be planning to be buyers. With Teel being out, is a catcher the focus or should the Sox land a starter or bullpen arm? Big stretch against the Yankees and Rays coming up. One game at a time. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
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.
