From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Some teams - like the Dodgers, Rangers and Mariners - have taken off after the Trade Deadline. Same can be said with a few players, with Michael Lorenzen highlighting the group that changed teams thanks in large part to his no-hitter Wednesday. There are also those who stayed put, such as James Paxton. With more than a week now since the Deadline it seemed like a good time to reflect on it all, with Rob Bradford sitting down with Paxton to get his honest view of what happened, what didn't happen and what might happen.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora joined Gresh and Fauria to discuss keeping the team focused, their performances on the west coast trip, the team's play in last night's loss to the Kansas City Royals, the benching of Alex Verdugo, the return of pitchers Chris Sale and Garrett Whitlock, Trevor Story's return to the major league lineup, and how the batting lineup could be adjusted.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): The baseball world is buzzing about the lunacy that came with the Orioles decision to suspend broadcaster Kevin Brown. It's why Camden Yards was chanting "Free Kevin Brown" in the seventh inning Tuesday night. It's also why Rob Bradford sat down with Red Sox broadcaster Will Flemming to get an expert perspective on the situation. Flemming doesn't disappoint, with unmatched insight and opinion on the matter. It's an important podcast for all those still believing the beauty of baseball includes actual free speech.
