This week, we begin by making our second-half picks for the MLB season, before recapping Pete Alonso's defense of his Home Run Derby crown, and the American League's 5-2 win in the All Star Game. From there, we discuss Lance Lynn's two-year, $38 million dollar extension, a COVID scare for the Yankees, a scary scenario during Saturday's Nationals-Padres game, a pair of trades by the Braves, a Yankee fan throwing a ball at Alex Verdugo, the Blue Jays return to Toronto, Trevor Bauer's extension on, and Starlin Castro's addition to the administrative list, and injuries to deGrom and Lindor in Flushing.
