From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (follow here): For the second time this season, host Rob Bradford sits down with Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts. This time the two chop it up just before Bogaerts hit his fourth homer of the season.

This conversation is centered around how different Bogaerts currently feels, living life with an 11-year contract, compared to a year ago when he was dealing with the sting of the Red Sox' initial contract offer. Bogaerts talks about how difficult last season was, his conversations with Rafael Devers and whether or not he is the best he has ever been.

Bradfo finishes off the podcast with a quick catch-up with another Padre with a long-term contract, Jake Cronenworth.
