This week's MLB topics include a rookie who announced his retirement, then came back the next day.  A former Red makes his debut with a new team.  The Cleveland baseball team has a new name.  And Team USA begins pool play this week.

The Reds were busy this week with trade deadline deals to improve the bullpen.  After bullpen arms blow leads in games against St. Louis and Chicago, they get some much needed help there.  Javy Baez and Amir Garrett get into it again and MLB mismanages another disciplinary action.  With Castellanos still hurt, the Reds needed to find someone to take that role in the lineup.  They found that person in Joey Votto and the answer is - YES - HE STILL BANGS!!!
