Baseball Isn’t Boring

Red Sox pitcher Chris Martin has lived the Trade Deadline in many ways, not only being dealt twice at the Deadline but living on teams that either did or didn't get reinforcements heading into the final months of the season. Martin sits down with Bradfo to reflect on the deals he has been in, along with explaining how a little can go a long way in regards to teams getting Deadline help.

So, the Astros reportedly really want White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease. Well, we do our best to find a path for him to land in Houston. Gordo (@BosSportsGordo) joins Bradfo to offer two blockbuster trade proposals, one of which is a multi-player deal that involves major names going back and forth from the White Sox and Astros. Another proposal involves three teams - the Red Sox, Brewers and Pirates - that would result in Rich Hill making another return to Boston. So, who says no?

As part of his most recent conversation with Bradfo, Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm discussed how the Phillies clubhouse is viewing the upcoming MLB Trade Deadline, particularly with Dave Dombrowski pulling the strings. Strahm also offers insight into how the Phillies turned things around to find themselves firmly in the postseason hunt.

A future wife's tears. A movie unseen. It was all part of Anthony Kay's experience during the 2019 MLB Trade Deadline when he was dealt from the team that drafted him in the first round, the Mets, to the Blue Jays. It is another episode of Trade Deadline Confessions.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm never disappoints when appearing on the Baseball Isn't Boring podcast, with this episode being no exception. Strahm - who made national news the last time he appeared on the show - joins Bradfo once again to discuss some of the issues with baseball nobody else is talking about, specifically the problem with the baseballs. The reliever also offers valuable insight into the Phillies' resurgence, which has put them firmly in the postseason conversation after going 27-10 since June 3. It's always a good time with Matt.

The MLB Power Rankings are once again the topic of conversation, with Producer Evan once again leaning on his time-tested formula of picking the Top 10 teams in Major League Baseball. This time, however, we throw in another voice, and approach, with Liam Skiffington jumping aboard to spice things up even more with a very controversial Top 10. Discuss. Debate. Enjoy.

It's not every day you can talk with the author of the definitive book about the definitive Major League Baseball player, but that's exactly what Bradfo does in sitting down with author/Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher, who penned 'Sho-Time: The Inside Story of Shohei Ohtani and the Greatest Baseball Season Ever Played'. Fletcher offers insight into the evolution of Ohtani, his current existence with Los Angeles and how he views the superstar's future in Anaheim and at the Trade Deadline.

It's time for another episode of 'Relatively Speaking' where we have relatives of big league players, coaches and former stars to offer unique perspective of what baseball looks like from that side the world. In today's podcast, Bradfo is joined by our 'Betting Isn't Boring' star, Jonathan Papelbon, his son, Gunner, and another young Baseball Isn't Boring superfan, Angus. It is an interesting view on things from the next wave of baseball players/fans. We are doing our part in lowering the demographic of baseball's fan base!

There are the rumors. There are the actual trades. There is the family chaos. And there is living life with a whole new bunch of teammates out of nowhere. Bradfo sits down with five players who have lived the life of a Trade Deadline participant - Trey Mancini, Chris Martin, Michael Fulmer, Anthony Kay and Jake Faria - to get their unique perspective and stories when it comes to being involved in franchise-altering, midseason deals. It's the best way to dive into Trade Deadline Season.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Sonny Gray is having one of the best years of his career. It's a career that has seen stops in four different organizations, a ton of trade rumors and one Trade Deadline deal. Gray visits with Bradfo to talk about what it's like to live the life of a player seemingly always in trade conversations.
