We're still waiting for the first move, but rumors are picking up around the Padres. Darnay checks in with Jon & Jim to see how they're feeling a week out from the MLB Trade Deadline. Is a Dylan Cease trade a given? What about Robert Suarez? Jake Cronenworth? Is Sandy Alcantara a real possibility? What about Steven Kwan? How could the deadline and the months that follow impact A.J. Preller's future? And will the rest of the season look more like 2024 or 2021?

Anthony and Lomas talk with Rod Marinelli about his time in football
Anthony Bellino and Lomas Brown discuss the All Stars, Lions, and bring in Rod Marinelli to talk about his time in football.
July 15, 2025 ~ Anthony Bellino, co-host of SportsWrap with Lomas Brown and Anthony Bellino discusses the Tigers sending 6 players and one bat boy to tonight's all star game featuring robot umpires.
A smiley Sunday at the K as the Royals pause for the All-Star break and Manager Q and hero Loftin weigh in. Plus plenty more from Wimbledon, The Open week and lead-ins, KC Current, SKC, Club World Cup, and more. Join in!
How would you grade the Padres after the first half? And how are we feeling about the outlook for the coming months? Who better to ask than former Friar Greg Garcia? What would he tell Jackson Merrill during his slump? He discusses Manny Machado's pursuit of history and Fernando Tatis Jr.'s missing power. And how important is it to start the second half on a strong note? Derek and Darnay also talk about Dylan Cease's struggles, the catcher conundrum and a couple rumors that have gained traction.
July 7, 2025 ~ Lomas Brown, Lions Legend, co-host of "SportsWrap with Lomas Brown and Anthony Bellino" and color analyst for the Detroit Lions Radio Network stops by during the innaugural "Lomas Brown Jr. Golf Classic" and Presents Paul with the first ever Paul W Smith Legacy Award.
Lots of baseball and a bit more on this post-holiday deep dive. David Lesky from "Inside the Crown" joins to talk all this Royals, I'll handle the MLB roundup, check in on a revitilized SKC, share some Wimbledon smiles, and more. Come on along!
The Padres continue to spin their wheels, heading into the final homestand of the first half. With four weeks to go until the Trade Deadline, both Derek and Darnay have the same idea for the Friars. Is it time to move on from Dylan Cease? Robert Suarez? A swap of catchers makes a ton of sense, maybe involving a former fan favorite (or two?). Plus, Xander Bogaerts continues to produce. Manny is an All-Star starter. And Fernando Tatis Jr. is still floundering.
The Royals finish June with all of one home win. We check out their status and go around MLB, SKC has a little something going, a bit of golf, and a very enjoyable farewell conversation with retiring ESPN beat writer Adam Teicher. Join us and join in!
The Padres won back-to-back series to finish .500 over a 26 game in 27 day stretch. Perfectly mid feels about right! Mike Shildt loves his team even more after the last our weeks, Derek and Darnay assess the stretch. Shildt toyed with the lineup. Xander Bogaerts is dinged up, while Michael King and Yu Darvish are making progress. Plus, some thoughts on potential trade targets as the deadline approaches.
A weekend of highs and many lows as the Thunder win the NBA title after Halliburton gets hurt, the Royals good road trip fizzles a bit, I root in vain as Fleetwood falters and Keegan wins in Hartford, the Current thrive on, and much more. Come on along!
The Padres have gotten reacquainted with the Dodgers and it's not too hard to see what separates the two clubs. Darnay chats with SI's Ryan Phillips about the big picture takeaways from the teams' meetings, before diving into the numbers. There are some stats that tell the story of this up-and-down Friars' campaign. They highlight a promising, up inconsistent pitching staff as well as a lineup that lacks depth. Manny is once again carrying the team, while Xander Bogaerts can't get it going. Some numbers are good, some are bad, and others are baffling. But they all help explain why the Padres are where they are.
I'm back and raring to go after a ups and downs weekend starting with the downtrodden Royals, who we will dive into with David Lesky from Inside the Crown. Plus carnage, high drama, and a heroic comeback by J.J. Spaun at the U.S. Open, KC Current hot, SKC not, NBA and NHL high octane finals, and more. Come on along!
Advantage Dodgers in 2025's first installment of baseball's best rivalry. One blowout win was sandwiched between a pair of disappointing losses. What did we learn from their first meeting of the season? Is anyone clicking besides Manny? What's wrong with the lineup right now? It's time to make some deals - the guys speculate about a few bats, and Derek says bullpen additions could make sense. Who knows when we'll see Michael King again? And things could go sideways fast for the Padres if they don't get clicking.
Fresh off a split in San Francisco that was either frustrating or fortuitous, Darnay welcomes Annie Heilbrunn to the pod! How should we feel about the Giants series? Should we be concerned or hopeful about the team finding ways to win? Manny is raking. Tatis has signs of life. Xander and Arraez are dinged up. A series with the Dodgers is finally around the corner. Darnay asks Annie about a more affable Mike Shildt, and the key to asking good questions and getting useful answers.
As I get set to head for the hills, literally, David Lesky from "Inside the Crown" chats Royals, Cags, and more. Also my weekly baseball roundup, Scheffler's continued dominance, NHL and NBA Finals looming, great KU and KSU baseball seasons end, SKC is warmish, and more. Soak up the info and fun!
The Padres had a successful week to build some momentum heading into what should be their most difficult month of the season. The On Friar Podcast hosts break down the looming gauntlet and discuss the health of the pitching staff … including the chances it will soon include Pirates ace Paul Skenes, who is suddenly the subject of trade rumors because of social media.
The Padres just had one of their worst weeks in a long time. Back-to-back sweeps, which included one of the ugliest performances you'll see. Gavin Sheets nearly saved them against the Jays. Manny hasn't looked like himself and Tatis looks defeated. Luis Arraez is confusing. The guys discuss the damage, wonder about shaking up the lineup and are getting worried about Yu Darvish.
