July Trifecta (Draft, Home Run Derby, and All-Star Game) Recap. Trade Deadline Preview and Breakup Mixtape.

Sayonara Baseball

With the MLB Draft, Home Run Derby, and All-Star Game all complete, Kazuki and Brandon are here to share their analysis of each of these signature events. Afterwards, our hosts spend some time to preview what might occur for this month's trade deadline. Kazuki provides a long list of sellers, buyers, and players that could be moved in late July. Of those possible sellers, Brandon and Kazuki spend some time talking about the Twins and Cubs -- both of whom came into the All-Star Break on poor performance streaks. Brandon puts together a mixtape of songs to express the feelings around the trade deadline -- basically, a version of a breakup mixtape. The episode concludes with some early predictions for the remainder of the season.
