As the trade deadline crashes down, Pottymouth kries for Kiké returning to the LAD, and Patti plots to wrangle Max away from The Kids’ fantasy team now that he’s a Ranger. The Mets fire sale may help Mark VIentos get regular playing time. Juan’s injured middle finger keeps going up and down, just like Pottymouth’s. Ha Seong Kim has sneaky WAR. We strongly suggest a broadcast future for Joey Votto when he’s ready for a career change. International baseball is coming to us! In November, Citi Field will welcome LIDOM’s Aguilas Cibaeñas vs. Tigres de Licey for three games, and Miami will host the Serie del Caribe in February.  Plenty of time to request leave. Rob Manfred is never leaving – teams voted to extend his contract as commissioner until 2029. Bad for As, good for killing the blackout.  We are grateful for the lovely gifts sent to us by friends of the show, and those of you who donated to Proud to Be in Baseball in honor of our 300th episode.
