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.

Sometimes in a long season you have a breakout game. It felt yesterday like that could have been it for the Royals. 8 runs and a Salvy home run that he desperately needed to see. Opposite yard too. Had been over a month since he did that. And Garcia is pretty much automatic at lead off.

Is it time to panic on Salvador Perez? Is it time for the Royals to call up some players? Player spotlight in the Omaha team

We talk to Bob about being a parent and watching your kids grow up before getting to Salvy and the Royals. We end the hour talking contenders and are joined by Jay Binkley.

We see it all the time... Older athletes begin to fade from what we remember them as. That may be what's happening right now.

Salvy is slow and not speeding up. What gives? Is it over? We talk about Jaden Hicks as he could be the unsung hero this season before talking one word and choosing between Bobs Tuesday threesome.

Brenden and Andy try to make sense of another attempt by power conferences to reign in the college sports NIL world. They also talk about Salvador Perez's rough hitting start and what it could mean for the future. Plus, is Mizzou officially on Sam Horn MLB draft watch?

Hour 2 – The Drive got a pulse for the fans of when will it be time to ask the question about if Father Time has caught up to Salvador Perez.

Is it time to let go of your struggling stars? In this episode of the Fantasy Six Pack Hour, hosts Joe Bond, AJ Applegarth, and Corey Pieper break down the most frustrating underperformers of the 2025 season. From early-round hitters to high-upside arms, we tackle the tough drop decisions that could define your fantasy season. Key players discussed: Ozzie Albies, Anthony Santander, Bryan Reynolds, Brenton Doyle, Matt McLain, Marcus Semien, Salvador Perez, Christian Walker, Dylan Crews, Sandy Alcantara We cover: 2025 underperformers: who to drop, who to hold Buy-low vs. drop debates Waiver wire tips and trade outlooks Follow and subscribe for weekly fantasy baseball insight, rankings, waiver wire targets, trade analysis, and more.

We all love Royals and KC legend Salvador Perez but it is clear he may need a couple days to reset and regroup. The ceiling of this team is dependent somewhat on his performance on offense. Jac Caglianone is raking in AA and people are wondering why he hasn't gotten the call.

Royals Manager Matt Quatraro joins Bob and dusty to talk about the latest loss to the Astros and Salvador Perez among other things.

Send us a textIt was more fun talking about This Week in Baseball goings-on since #MLB team captains are kinda unimportant. A vestige of 19th century baseball, there are only three team captains in the Majors today. # Yankees Aaron Judge #Royals Salvador Perez, & #Rangers Marcus Semien.  Why aren't there more? We dive into that thought in this week's episode. Four of the five teams in the #ALWest are .500 or better. Who'da thunk it? Jacob DeGrom is looking like prime DeGrom for Texas. Pitching injuries continue to be the story of the 2025 season.  Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow of the #Dodgers are both on the IL. The boys from L.A. keep on winning.  How about the Tampa Bay #Rays?  They have had a bunch of home games scheduled in the early part of the season because there is not roof over Steinbrenner Field in Tampa - the temporary home of the Rays. If you didn't know, it rains a bunch in the afternoons and evenings in Tampa in the summer. So MLB is trying to avoid rainouts and scheduled the Rays for a lot of road trips after May. ]#RedSox puzzle us. Injuries yes, to Tristan Casas, hurt,  but the Sox just find ways to lose instead of ways to win. #Yankees are in 1st place by default. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

In what began as a discussion about Yainer Diaz being a sleepy good player for the Astros in 2025, soon turned to one member of The A-Team making a very bold claim about the catcher. When it comes to really good offensive catchers in the American League, names like Adley Rutschman and Salvador Perez come to mind. This member of The A-Team says it's time to put Yainer Diaz in that category.

Welcome back to another episode of Bubba (@bdentrek) and the Bloom (@RyanBHQ). On BATB 201, the guys begin their 2025 positional previews with the Catcher position. Some Players Discussed-William Contreras Yanier Diaz Adley Rutschman Willson Contreras Will Smith Salvador Perez Many More

Kansas City Royals legend Alex Gordon joins Eric Hosmer & Mike Moustakas in the 1st edition of Diggin' At Home!Gordo takes us back to his baseball roots in Nebraska, playing for the Cornhuskers, and becoming the 2nd overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft. He shares what it was like coming up as a young player in the Royals organization and overcoming hard times early in his career. Gordo also takes us behind scenes of the conversations he had with Dayton Moore early on about transitioning from 3rd base to the outfield, a move that would lead to him winning 8x Gold Gloves, and at the time made room for a young Moose to fill that spot. The guys discuss the current state of the Royals and why the future is so bright with a guy like Bobby Witt Jr. in the clubhouse. As an assistant coach, Gordo breaks down what he saw from this past season and why he's excited about what's to come in KC. Of course the guys had to take a trip down memory and talk about the glory days in Kansas City. Gordo delivers a break down of his Game 7 hit that he almost made it home on - should he have been sent home? He also gives us a comprehensive break down of his iconic home run against Jeurys Familia. Gordo shares how studying Familia's quick pitch to Salvador Perez changed his approach at the plate, leading to the game-tying home run that sent Kauffman Stadium into a frenzy. From his MLB debut against Curt Schilling to meeting George Brett as a rookie, Gordo provides an amazing look at his remarkable MLB journey.-----------------GuestAlex Gordon /⁠ @alex.gordon.4⁠⁠HostsEric Hosmer /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @hosmer305⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mike Moustakas / ⁠@moosetacos8⁠Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Advertising & Partnership inquiries: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠diggindeep@moonballmedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MoonBall Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast

The Top 10 Series Returns! Dylan Campione, Nicho Fernandez, James Taussig & Henry Kolani discuss their predictions for the top 10 catchers of the 2025 season in the first half of our catchers breakdown. What to do with veterans Salvador Perez & J.T. Realmuto? Should William Contreras, Adley Rutschman or someone else take the number 1 slot? What players do we see breaking out? All that and more in today's episode & make sure to look out for part 2 with a special guest analyst! 

Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, joins the show for his “Cold Stove” M's offseason chatter with Jason “Puck” Puckett. Divish is once again substitute teaching at his former high school in Havre, Montana.  They open up discussing why catcher Cal Raleigh should have won the Silver Slugger Award over Salvador Perez.   The conversation then turns to their offseason look at the third base position. Currently the only internal option to play third base is Josh Rojas.  Ryan thinks they'll bring Rojas back but he won't primarily be the third baseman and that they will have to find another option there, most likely via a trade.  Ryan believes you could have a situation where Rojas and Dylan Moore will platoon at second base. Ryan also gets into the teams desire to bring Justin Turner back and their preference to trade Luis Castillo in the offseason. And, Divish contemplated the idea that Puck brought up about trading for Phillis third baseman Alec Bohm. Would that be a good fit for the M's?

Today's Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett features Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy from a rainy parking lot in Sandy, Oregon. But, he's got his headsets and a microphone and good to go! Puck and Jim open up the show discussing the Cougars effort and challenges of keeping John Mateer in Pullman.  Puck argues that the fanbase can make a difference and he believes he'll stay. They also touch in on the breaking news that Abe Lucas has been activated off the PUP list and will play Sunday against the 49ers. How healthy and effective will Lucas be?  That remains a big question mark. Puck tells Jim that he missed a great basketball game on Tuesday night between the Mavericks and Warriors with Klay Thompson's homecoming. Crowd was great. The play was sensational. But, on Klay's night, it was Steph Curry stealing the show. Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly visit.  They discuss the release of Tyrel Dodson.  How bad of an offseason did John Schneider have?Does Rob fee like Puck in wanting the team to lose out if they can't get wins in the next two weeks?  What will the offseason have in store for D.K. Metcalf and Geno Smith. Rob makes the point that you will have to choose. Lastly, Rob takes a look at the NFL draft and offers his thoughts on a conversation had with Mike Garafolo about the upcoming draft. Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, joins the show for his “Cold Stove” M's offseason chatter with Jason “Puck” Puckett. Divish is once again substitute teaching at his former high school in Havre, Montana.  They open up discussing why catcher Cal Raleigh should have won the Silver Slugger Award over Salvador Perez.   The conversation then turns to their offseason look at the third base position. Currently the only internal option to play third base is Josh Rojas.  Ryan thinks they'll bring Rojas back but he won't primarily be the third baseman and that they will have to find another option there, most likely via a trade.  Ryan believes you could have a situation where Rojas and Dylan Moore will platoon at second base. Ryan also gets into the teams desire to bring Justin Turner back and their preference to trade Luis Castillo in the offseason. And, Divish contemplated the idea that Puck brought up about trading for Phillis third baseman Alec Bohm. Would that be a good fit for the M's?Lastly, Puck wraps up with “Hey, What the Puck!?”  It's time for Cougar fans to get out and support their players. If you want John Mateer to stay and continue to be the starting quarterback for the Cougars well into the future, then join the Cougar Collective today!
