---

00:00 Fred Pod 7-29

00:20 Welcome

01:15 Seranthony Dominguez to the Jays … Felix Bautista is expected to be out for a while. I think he can be cut.

09:00 Emmanuel Clase suspension. Is he a drop? Probably depends on your saves standings.

13:45 Cade Smith boost is obvious but should be mentioned. And there are rumors that more CLE suspensions are on the way……

15:00 Tigers - Reese Olson out for season, Parker Meadows to the IL, Chris Paddack traded to Tigers.

20:00 Eugenio Suarez…..

23:15 NFFC

24:45 Sellers at the deadline

25:45 Orioles: Ryan O’Hearn and Cedric Mullins are likely gone. Coby Mayo will get to play more. Zach Eflin, Charlie Morton, Gregory Soto gone as well.

28:30 Guardians: Except Shane Bieber. Cade Smith, Hunter Gaddis? Steven Kwan?

31:35 White Sox: They’ll try to move Aaron Civale and Luis Robert Jr.

34:30 Royals: With Lugo signed, are they out of the selling market.

36:30 Twins: Harrison Bader and Willi Castro should be traded. Maybe Joe Ryan?!

42:30 Angels: I feel like they won’t sell. Agree?

46:40 A’s: I don’t see much here, unless they can get someone to take Luis Severino. Jeffrey Springs is likely available for the right price.

49:20 BlueWire

49:30 Marlins: Will they trade Edward Cabrera and Sandy Alcantara? They’ve played well this summer. Maybe they should stand pat, try to get Weathers, Meyer and Garrett back, and compete next year?

54:00 Braves: Raisel Iglesias and Marcell Ozuna are gone. Dylan Lee and Pierce Johnson to share saves?

58:00 Nationals: Quietly one of baseball’s most disappointing teams. Kyle Finnegan should be gone. Josh Bell too, if anyone wants him. I think that’s it.

59:45 Cardinals: Ryan Helsley is a pending FA who would do wonders for PHI or LAD. Would they trade Sonny Gray with one year remaining? I think they’re stuck with Nolan Arenado at this point.

1:03:50 Pirates: Mitch Keller, David Bednar, Dennis Santana.

1:05:15 D-backs: The sell-off has started. Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen and Eugenio Suarez are all likely gone. Keep an eye on Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who will likely decline his player option.

1:06:20 Rockies: I have no idea. This team stinks.

1:09:40 Giants - Lost 4 in a row, but not selling.

00:00 Trade Deadline Buyers

00:20 Welcome

00:30 Break up the Brewers

01:00 News

02:45 Tanner Scott felt something in his forearm.

05:15 Yordan Alvarez is making slow progress.

06:15 Shane McClanahan is facing a delay in his rehab assignment.

07:00 Same with Grayson Rodriguez, who is undergoing imaging on his elbow.

10:00 Adley Rutschman vs. Ivan Herrera

12:00 Sell low on Freddie Freeman?

13:45 Mookie Betts vs CJ Abrams

15:30 Josh Jung returned and homered.

18:00 NFFC

18:45 Trade Deadline Buyers Preview

19:00 What are these teams likely to acquire, and who could be bumped from their current roles?

19:30 Blue Jays: Where to add to a team that is getting average production at almost every position.

26:40 Tigers: Add CF? Closer? SP5?

30:00 Astros: Add OF? With injured SP coming back, they seem fine elsewhere.

32:00 Yankees: Prob need 2 SP and a 3B

34:45 Red Sox: SP for sure. I kind of like the lineup.

36:15 Rays: Typically, impossible to predict. Could buy and sell. Unload Littell and add someone.

39:00 Home Run Forecast

39:45 Mariners: 2B, 3B, RF.

43:45 Phillies: Closer, more than any other contender. Maybe LF too.

47:00 Mets: C, 2B, 3B.

49:30 Cubs: 3B, SP.

51:30 Brewers: I have no idea. They are similar to the Jays offensively.

53:30 Dodgers: Only RPs?

55:20 Padres: A rare team that could take an elite hitter and stick him at DH

57:25 BlueWire

57:30 Giants: SP, 1B.
