On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio and he chats with John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com.   Puck opens the show discussing Julio's placement on the All-Star team and he wonders why so many are outraged over people like Puck saying he didn't deserve to be an All-Star this season. If you think he didn't deserve a spot, it doesn't make you a bad fan. Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio joins Puck to discuss Julio's selection to the game, plus, the rumors of a Ronald Acuna Jr. trade, the Washington Nationals cleaning house, the continued pitching problems for the Dodgers, how the Rays continue to be so good and looking ahead to the All-Star game. Puck welcomes John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com, and John starts off detailing his crazy Fourth of July and his obsession with fireworks.  They transition over to the Pac-12 and talk about the possibility of Memphis joining the conference as a football only member, his recent interview with commissioner Teresa Gould, celebrating the life of an all-time great Oregon State fan and the sad state of the WNBA and players treatment toward Caitlin Clark.  On this weeks sneak preview of The Sports Pit with Steve Sandmeyer and Matt “Stretch” Johnson, the boys laugh about Segway bug door-to-door salesman, the annoying preacher man at Mariners games and the legend that was Tuba Man.  To listen to the full podcast, join Puck's Posse by going to PuckSports.com to sign up! Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Embrace relationships.

With the 2025 MLB Draft rapidly approaching, MLB Pipeline senior prospect and draft analyst Jim Callis returns to the Jack Vita Show, to preview this year's Draft. The Draft is set for Sunday, July 13. This conversation was taped Friday, June 27, days after the MLB Draft Combine in Phoenix concluded, and 23 days before the MLB Draft. This year's Draft does not have a clear-cut number one talent, leaving the Washington Nationals the opportunity to go in a number of different directions. They could tag college baseball's best pitcher, LSU's lefty Kade Anderson. They could go with the best high school position player (Ethan Holliday), or the best high school pitcher (Seth Hernandez). Jim helps break down the talent at the top of the Draft board, previewing Sunday's Draft. Jim also shares some thoughts from this year's MLB Draft Combine (0:00 - 40:30). Later, Jim and Jack shift their attention to the big leagues, specifically, young players that have impressed this season. After a lackluster rookie campaign, Pete Crow-Armstrong was named the National League's starting center fielder in next week's All-Star Game. The 23 year-old has found success in his sophomore season in the bigs. Jim has been high on PCA for a while, but did he see this coming from him in his second year? Jim also been high on Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski for quite some time. Misiorowski recently made his big league debut, and through his first four starts, the 23 year-old has a 3-1 record and 3.20 ERA across 19.2 IP. Jack and Jim talk Misiorowski and other young players they have their eye on this season. They also share some thoughts on the Chicago Cubs' hot start that has them in first place, just days before the All-Star break (40:30 - 53:35). Lastly, Jim and Jack discuss the cast for the upcoming season of Survivor, Survivor 50 (53:35 - END)! You can find more from us on Survivor 50 here.
