Join Robert Murray and Adam Weinrib on this episode of The Baseball Insiders

Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray dive into “Juan Soto Hustlegate,” questioning whether the Yankees superstar is already clashing with his manager over hustle.

Plus, the guys explore the obvious fix for the Phillies’ struggling bullpen: Is David Robertson the answer to their Jose Alvarado woes? Could a reunion actually make sense?

The Cubs also enter the conversation as they face depth issues. Could they be contenders in the Robertson sweepstakes too?

Adam also puts Robert on the spot: Is he buying stock in the Cardinals, or are their recent wins a mirage? What about the Braves and Twins clawing back above .500 — are they for real?

Finally, it's time for "Empty That Notebook" and a round of Crowd Q&A, as Adam and Robert break down the biggest stories of the week around the league.
