Episode 433: All-Star season is officially here! The first round of voting has been released, and Dallas has officially begun his campaign for Nick Kurtz to make the All-Star Game. The conversation then shifts to a debate over who the best catcher in baseball is following Drake Baldwin's return to the Atlanta Braves.

A disastrous season has forced Buster Posey to try to move the big contracts of Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, and Matt Chapman. The guys break down exactly what it would take to trade those massive deals and who among the three high-dollar players is the real prize. The Giants remain in the news for all the wrong reasons.

When the San Francisco Giants ended the 2025 season, they found themselves at exactly .500 in the ultra-competitive NL West. After acquiring All-Star Rafael Devers during the season and making a few additions in the offseason, there was hope that the Giants would be pushing for a postseason spot in 2026. That plan, however, has not yet taken off, and things are reportedly set to change by the Bay. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss reports that President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey is set to trade away key players before the August 3 trade deadline. The surprising move suggests that the Giants may not believe this is the year for them to compete and that a reset is necessary after falling to a disappointing 29-43 record to this point in the season. The question now is: Which players are going to be moved in potential trades? Later, Jake and Jordan dream up who they would like to see in the 2026 MLB Home Run Derby, set to take place in Philadelphia next month. While there are a few obvious choices—Kyle Schwarber and Ben Rice, most notably—the guys also hope that Mike Trout could have a special moment and compete in his first-ever Derby in front of a hometown crowd. They then discuss a few key players returning from injury, the Washington Nationals' surprising success and take a look at the current manager ejection standings. 1:40 – The Opener: Giants fire sale 26:13 – Dream Home Run Derby field 52:04 – Around the League: Key returning players 56:26 – Nationals are having success 1:01:36 – Manager ejection standings Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Hour 1: The San Francisco Giants are in a state of flux, and it's not just the weather in Atlanta that's causing uncertainty. As the team prepares to take on the Braves, rumors are swirling about potential trades and the future of key players like Logan Webb, Luis Arraez, and Rafael Devers. This episode of the Murph and Marcus Show delves into the latest news and analysis, with Kerry Crowley filling in for Brian Murphy. The Giants are currently 14 games under .500, and it's clear that they're not just looking to make a few tweaks to their roster. With the trade deadline looming, the team is reportedly testing the waters, putting out feelers on players like Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray. But what does this mean for the future of Logan Webb, who's under contract for two more years? Is he a part of the rebuild plan, or will he be the ace that the Giants need to compete in the National League West? The conversation also touches on the importance of pitching, with the Giants' lack of depth in the minor leagues a major concern. Can they afford to trade away Logan Webb, or will they need to hold onto him to cover innings for the team? And what about the other players on the trade block, like Matt Chapman and Willie Damas? Will they be moved, or will they be part of the core that the Giants are building around?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The speaker also delves into the impact of the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system on pitchers like Chris Sille and Logan Web, who rely on movement and location rather than velocity. Tom Glavin shares his insights on the Braves' success, citing the team's ability to adapt and fill in the gaps left by injured players. He also discusses the importance of depth in the bullpen and the potential for the Braves to add some extra arms at the trade deadline.

It was the most epic Red, White and Blue weekend I can ever remember and it was topped off with a spectacular scene in DC for UFC Freedom 250 and a deal made with Iran. Pinch me, if you will, because this just all seems too good to be true. We are SO back and we are flaunting it everywhere from the soccer pitch to the Strait of Hormuz to the Octagon of Doom outside the Oval Office. I voted for ALL of this. Jackson County charges two men for allegedly stealing England's soccer shoes and after hearing their names, I only have one question I need answered.

The Giants have a winning tradition and a loyal fan base, but it's hard to ignore the fact that they've been stuck in a rut for years.

The Giants' ownership has been criticized for not going over the luxury tax threshold in certain seasons, which has limited the team's ability to make big moves.

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, Tyler and Ron are back following... wait for it... a CUBS SERIES WIN! For the first time since early May, the Cubs have won a series, taking two of three from the San Francisco Giants. Brilliant pitching from Ben Brown and Javier Assad is applauded, the bullpen gets some love, and Pete Crow-Armstrong continues to be the Cubs' most consistent offensive producer. This is hopefully a huge step forward for the Cubbies. Some Josiah Hartstein love, Las Vegas baseball discussions, and more fill in the gaps before the boys preview the upcoming series against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field. SUPPORT THE SHOW!
