Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg take a look at teams that are buyers or sellers and players that could be dealt as we inch closer to the trade deadline. Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers began the podcast by highlighting the proximity of the MLB trade deadline on July 31st and exploring player perspectives on potential trades (0:02-0:54). Josh Towers shared insights about clubhouse attitudes, noting that players on borderline teams usually do not focus too heavily on rumors unless they perceive their team as a genuine contender (0:54-2:22). Scott specifically referenced Zach Allen's scenario, discussing extra motivation players might feel to perform exceptionally well, either as a farewell to their home fans or to appeal to potential acquiring teams. Towers concurred, emphasizing how recent performances heavily influence trade interest (2:23-4:26). For players on losing teams, Towers explained they often refrain from openly expressing dissatisfaction but admitted they privately may urge agents to facilitate a trade, highlighting their focus remains primarily on what they can control—their performance (4:27-5:58). They then discussed prominent potential free agents, notably Kyle Tucker, Pete Alonzo, Ranger Suarez, and Framber Valdez. Towers indicated that Tucker could command a significant contract, speculating around $500 million due to the limited number of big names available (6:05-9:16). Scott and Josh shifted their focus to the Philadelphia Phillies, anticipating aggressive trade deadline actions given the impending free agency of key players like Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto, stressing the Phillies' urgency for success (9:17-10:30). They conducted a detailed breakdown of specific potential trade candidates: Eugenio Suarez from the Diamondbacks was deemed a definite trade candidate due to market scarcity (10:31-10:40). Sandy Alcantara, despite a 7.14 ERA, was viewed positively due to his talent and health (10:55-11:24). Mitch Keller from the Pirates and Zach Allen and Merrill Kelly from the Diamondbacks were discussed as attractive pitching targets, with Towers uncertain on Kelly's market value given his declining velocity (11:35-12:54). Nolan Arenado was considered a possible high-value trade piece, especially if packaged with Ryan Helsley, making him attractive to teams like the Yankees (12:54-13:53). Reid Detmers was identified as a valuable asset despite recent struggles, with Towers emphasizing his potential if developed properly (13:54-14:34). They then analyzed various teams: The Milwaukee Brewers' recent success raised questions about their legitimacy, given historical postseason struggles (17:06-18:25). The Toronto Blue Jays, despite inconsistency, were cautiously viewed as potential contenders (19:46-21:33). The Seattle Mariners were described as too streaky and lacking offensive consistency (22:27-23:10). The Texas Rangers were recognized for strong pitching but considered lacking sufficient offensive consistency (24:19-24:45). Tampa Bay Rays were praised for their unpredictable yet effective roster-building approach (24:46-25:33). In the National League: The San Diego Padres' potential was acknowledged, but Towers indicated internal cohesion issues possibly hampering performance (25:59-27:59). The Giants were dismissed as inconsistent and thus not genuine contenders (28:03-28:40). The Cincinnati Reds were enthusiastically discussed as a young team with potential but needing additional key offensive pieces to become legitimate contenders (29:21-33:27). Finally, they briefly touched on the Angels, suggesting that adding two pitchers could significantly enhance their playoff chances, despite current struggles and a negative run differential (34:29-35:47). Scott concluded by emphasizing the approaching trade deadline's impact on MLB futures markets, hinting at further discussions to come (37:47-39:51). Learn more about your ad choices.

Following the conclusion of the All-Star break, the Astros seem to have hit a bump in the road rolling in and coming out of the break as we've now reached the second half of the season. Winning 1 out of their last 6 just before the break and concluding their first series yesterday avoiding the sweep, the Astros win 11-3 but lose the series 1-2 to the Seattle Mariners. Assessing a few blunders over the Stros' last 10 games, Steve shares a few things to be mindful of as we roll through the weeks pertaining to injuries and the trade deadline approaching.
Rolling into the second half of the season now following the conclusion of the All-Star break, the Astros tee back into action tonight for a 3 game series against their division rivals, the Seattle Mariners.

Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message This has been a big week for Cal Raleigh, "The Big Dumper," the All-Star catcher from the Seattle Mariners. Not only did he star in this year's All-Star Game in Atlanta but he won the Home Run Derby, beating out some of the biggest names in Major League Baseball. Last year, Cal was part of our "Young Bloods" blood donation awareness campaign. So, Bloodworks 101 producer John Yeager thought it would be fun to listen to Cal's thoughts on catching, his team and the lifesaving practice of blood donation. For Cal, the issue of blood donation is personal.

It's Trade Deadline Month Day! Finally!! Today we deviate from the standard look at one player as a trade possibility and look at an entire situation. Do we need a starting pitcher or are we just being greedy? :30- There was really nothing said when Adam Silver spoke the other day and our feelings haven't changed much. But how do we realistically think the return of the NBA will work? :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
CAM CLEELAND (Husky color analyst) joins us for our Husky One series and today, we are discussing tight ends and the O-Line.

Who do we need to keep our eyes on this season and who can exceed expectations? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - Q is for Quest: as the 2nd half begins, the quest is to take the Astros down. - R is for Raleigh: what do we expect for his 2nd half? - S is for Suarez: are we convinced this trade is happening? :45- The Kraken schedule came out yesterday and we noticed a few things!

We are Bucky-less today, but we have LIVE sports happening! The Open Championship is underway at Royal Portrush and some traditions came to an end as the tournament started. Adam Silver spoke on Tuesday, but did he say anything we were surprised by? Did what he said alter our feelings on the NBA returning to Seattle? Silver also brought up expansion into Europe and we have some thoughts on that. :30- Softy made his return to the airwaves yesterday, joining us for Husky One Series. How is he feeling about having two 6'4” cornerbacks playing for the Dawgs this year? :45- The all-star break makes it feel like the Mariners haven't played a game in 9 years, but they're back for the 2nd half of the season tomorrow.

Headlines and a look at the action in Royal Portrush this week for the 2025 Open Championship. Rory's returning to his home course, Scottie's the favorite, but his putter isn't playing along and will weather be a factor in Northern Ireland? We discuss it all! There's still time to play the Major Golf Challenge- https://933kjr.iheart.com/content/2025-04-03-the-2025-majors-golf-challenge-us-open-edition/ :30- It's Trade Deadline Month Day! We have focused a lot on the offensive needs for the Mariners, but they also need a bullpen piece, so today we take a look at Twins relievers Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran. Both are ready to make arbitration money, so it seems highly likely that the Twins would look to sell them. Duran added to your lineup would really be something! Brash, Duran and Muni… yes please! His salary won't get in the way and you'd have 2 more years of control. Jax doesn't have the speed of Duran, but he has 66 strikeouts in 41 innings and seems to be improving every month. Makes less money with the same amount of control. :45- It's like the MLB has answered all of Chuck's prayers… well, most of them. He just has a couple more requests and then he's done! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The All-star game ended with a tie and they went to the best tiebreaker EVER- a Home Run Derby! Kyle Schwarber hit all three of his homeruns and won the MVP of the game for the National League despite going 0-2 with a walk in the game itself. Would we like to see the home run derby finish more often? Would we ever want it in regular-season games? Possibly… :30- It's a variation of Mariners Morning After as we look at last night's All-star game and the Mariners stars' performance. :45- Adam Silver spoke to the media yesterday following the owners meetings, but in reality, he didn't say much.

The Detroit Tigers limp into the All-Star break after a tough series against the Seattle Mariners, exposing the flaws within this Tigers team. The break couldn't come at a better time as Detroit looks to regroup and refocus for the second half of the season. Kirk Cousins is suddenly at the center of sympathy after Netflix's Quarterback shows how the Falcons drafted his potential replacement just months after signing him. In addition, he decided to hide and play through an injury last season, which led to him getting benched.

For generations, the only sounds at a Major League ballpark were the crowd, the crack of the bat, or the slap of a ball smacking a glove. Then in 1941, we got organs, and an historical journey began. With music, fans were more engaged than ever... and in 1970, one woman joined the Chicago White Sox and brought her musical skill and razor wit to the keys. Thanks to Nancy Faust, inventor of the walk-up song, baseball changed forever. Learn with us, laugh with us, deal with fluctuating E with us. We get into Sinners and more in the MouthGarf Report... and of course, we play some I See What You Did There!Sources:https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2016/04/30/organ-mlb-historyhttps://www.mlb.com/cut4/the-complete-history-of-the-walk-up-songhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Fausthttps://www.mlb.com/news/organist-nancy-faust-returning-to-play-selected-games-for-white-soxPlease give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts!

The Detroit Tigers enter the All-Star break with MLB's best record — but a bullpen problem looms large. On this week's episode of Days of Roar, Tigers beat writer Evan Petzold breaks down Detroit's first-half performance, including a season-worse sweep by the Seattle Mariners. If the Tigers want to win the World Series, adding an elite swing-and-miss reliever is essential. We discuss the big names on the trade market. We also take a deep dive into the Tigers' high-risk, high-upside picks on Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft with draft expert Tyler Jennings from Just Baseball. Scott Bentley, the host of the Locked On Tigers podcast, returns to Days of Roar to discuss the top four draft picks, as well as Zach McKinstry and Casey Mize joining the All-Star Game as replacement players.

It's Green Jacket time! Before we draft our home run derby participants, we have some hardware to hand out and has this ever happened before? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - H is for homers: Cal Raleigh has hit 38 of them in the first half of the season- an absolutely historic 1st half. - I is for interchangeable parts: Jurrangelo Cjintje can throw with both arms REALLY well and he was THE story to come out of the Futures game. - J is for Jewel and by all accounts, we got the crown jewel of the draft in Cade Anderson. :45- Word on the street is that the D Backs are selling and that opens up a world of possibilities!

Baseball man… It's a tale of two series. We get swept in New York and talked on Friday about how we just didn't want to get swept in Detroit as well, facing the best team in baseball and instead, we did the sweeping! The Mariners offense put up 35 runs in the Motor City and put on a show for three straight games, to head into the all-star break on a high note and Julio shined the brightest batting .500 for the series with 3 home runs. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners shined in Detroit and were able to get back what they lost in New York. Yesterday's game was the Mariners season in a nutshell- leaving runners on base, gifting runs on errors, solo home runs and more. :45- The MLB Draft began on Sunday and the Mariners were given a gift with the 3rd pick- a choice between Cade Anderson and Ethan Holliday. They went with Anderson- the LSU star with an extremely high ceiling. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
