Episode 18 - OMG Trade Deadline Special

Nuthin' But Baseball! Hosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Tab Bamford.
Part of the Revolver Podcast Network.
On this week’s episode, Tab and Paul took a night (and maybe a stiff drink and a cigar) to unwind from the most emotional, chaotic trade deadline in MLB history. Friday was a day and a half and the final two months of the regular season are going to be crazy because of it! The guys spend some time digging in on the biggest and most active team at the deadline: the Chicago Cubs. Anthony Rizzo is now a Yankee, Kris Bryant is a Giant and Javier Báez is a Met. The World Series chapter in the history of the Cubs franchise is now written and closed. Chicago fans had a tough week but Tab offered some thoughts on how and why Cubs GM Jed Hoyer made the moves and offers some optimism for fans who think the Cubs sold too much too lightly.
But the Cubs weren’t the only team to swing big at the deadline. The Dodgers grabbed a couple more superstars in Max Scherzer and Trea Turner as they try to repeat. The Braves bought an entirely new outfield. The Phillies added an All-Star to their rotation and the Blue Jays acquired an ace from Minnesota.
Exhale and catch up from the trade deadline with the insights and commentary on what went down and why it may have ultimately been good – and necessary – for sellers to sell and buyers to buy in this week’s episode.
And, as always, Tab offers his Fantasy Add of the Week. Who has a bigger opportunity to impact his job on a big league roster and your fantasy team down the stretch? Listen in to find out!
