We talk all things All-Star week, including the Home Run Derby, the Julio Rodriguez Show, what in the world happened with Albert Pujols, Pete Alonso proving himself to be the biggest cornball in baseball, Juan Soto taking the crown after declining a $440M contract offer (and the status of that situation), the All-Star Game and the American League’s continued dominance, the jerseys, ump cams, players being mic’d up, our grades for the entire week and much more. Enjoy!
