Then, the guy’s touch on a number of other deals that went down over the weekend, including a trade made by an AL Central team that makes no sense

The baseball dugout water cooler remains undefeated after an altercation with Jarred Kelenic left the latter with a broken foot. Jake and Jordan explain how this this silly and immature moment from the 24-year-old might actually endear him to Mariners fans. Then, the boys bathe in the Yankenfreude that this New York Yankees team has provided for rival fans, admit to something that frustrates them about Elly De La Cruz, and play the first ever edition of “Baseball Taboo”.

Jake and Jordan are back together to break down every single team's game plan heading into the trade deadline. Will your team be sellers, like the White Sox and Cardinals, or are they only one or two pieces away from a potential World Series berth, like the Giants, the Astros or the Phillies? Or perhaps you’re a Braves fan and you have everything you could possibly ever need in a team. Either way, Jake and Jordan have you covered. Then, the guys discuss last night's historically high scoring games, and Jake admits to something that may change the very fabric of this podcast.
