Mets plus Rocker plus Boras equals disaster; MLB Trade Deadline: Cubs and Nationals hit reset button (8/2)
Today’s word of the day is ‘investment’ as in the Mets made one in Kumar Rocker by selecting him 10th overall in the 2021 MLB Draft as in the Mets not signing Rocker and losing the pick. What the hell happened? Why did the Mets promise so much money and not follow through? Did the Mets know about his elbow? Did Scott Boras mess this up? (19:10) Let’s talk about the MLB Trade Deadline. It was a busy, busy deadline! (24:25) Did the Cubs and Nationals have a fire sale? No! They traded away players with one year left on their deals. They made the smart move. Does it suck? Yes! But these teams needed to think about the future. (28:20) The Yankees swept the Marlins after the trade deadline. Does it mean the Yankees made all the right moves? (29:10) What about the Mets? (30:20) Fernando Tatis Jr left the Padres game again with his shoulder injury. This is more unfortunate news for a team that’s battling it out with the Giants and Dodgers in the NL West. (35:35) Review: My Blind Brother. (37:35) NPPOD. (40:55) Wait to see update. (42:20) Starling Castro has been suspended for 30 days. The Nationals say he’s not playing for them anymore. So what is MLB doing with Trevor Bauer? Will he play again for the Dodgers?
