Dennis Gilbert, the architect of the Bobby Bonilla contract joins the podcast (37:00) to discuss how he got into the agent business, how the Bonilla contract came about and why he encourages all players to take some deferrals in their contracts to protect their futures.

Greg and Josh also discuss Yusei Kikuchi's excellent June, Chris Bassitt rebounding when reuniting with Kirk and the change in his pitch mix/calling, Vlad finding his power stroke for a still-underperforming offence, and some injury updates for Hyun-Jin Ryu, Chad Green and Zach Pop and what can be expected of them in the near future.

They also answer listener questions and give out a Gold Star to Brandon Belt's dry sense of humour.
