he second half of the 2025 MLB season is underway, and the Baseball Insiders are here to figure out who’s buying, selling, or stuck in trade deadline limbo.

Join Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray as they break down the biggest questions surrounding bubble teams heading into the final weeks of July:

Red Sox – Are they officially buyers now? Is the Jarren Duran trade chatter over after their recent surge?

Twins – After Mark Feinsand echoed Robert’s reporting that Joe Ryan is off-limits, who’s actually available in Minnesota?

Diamondbacks – Survived a scare with Eugenio Suárez, and now look close to "all systems go." Are they buyers again?

Rays – Free fall alert. After being red-hot a month ago, they’re suddenly underperforming. What’s Tampa Bay’s plan?

Royals & Pirates – Will Seth Lugo be moved? What does the Adam Frazier trade signal? Are the Pirates starting the sell-off with Mitch Keller possibly headed to New York?

Plus, Robert shares fresh intel on other borderline sellers that could shape the market down the stretch.

This is your go-to episode for deadline rumors, front office tea, and realistic trade buzz you won’t find anywhere else.

On this solo-hosted edition of the Baseball Insiders Prospect Show, Eric reacts to all the action from Day One of the 2025 MLB Draft, where chaos struck early with Eli Willits and Tyler Bremner going shockingly 1-2 overall. Did anyone see that coming?

The surprises didn’t stop there — Jamie Arnold’s slide to the A’s at No. 11 turned heads, while the Tigers went rogue with two eyebrow-raising selections. Eric breaks down which teams stayed steady and which ones went off the rails, plus his early impressions of bonus pool strategy — especially from the Orioles, who may have crushed it with picks like Ike Irish, Caden Bodine, Wehiwa Aloy, and Slater de Brun.

Also in this episode: a recap of the 2025 MLB Futures Game, where the NL topped the AL 4-2 in a pitcher-dominated showdown. JR Ritchie and Jurrangelo Cijntje impressed on the mound, but it was Josue de Paula’s clutch 3-run homer that stole the spotlight and earned him MVP honors.

This week on The Baseball Insiders, Adam and Sam dig into a whirlwind of MLB chaos. What can we expect from the White Sox as the draft and trade deadline loom? The Nationals stunned the league by firing both Davey Martinez and Mike Rizzo just one week before making the No. 1 overall pick... could that change their draft plans?

Plus, Miguel Cairo’s surprise return, the most egregious All-Star snubs (and whether MLB will fix them), and whether the Home Run Derby still moves the needle. Oh and what on earth is going on with the Marlins? 11 straight road wins?! We’re not buying it… but we are watching.

Join host Adam Weinrib for a powerful conversation with 3x MLB All-Star Curtis Granderson and card collector/educator Samuel Evans as they unveil a groundbreaking initiative: the Youth Collector Club, powered by the National Sports Collectors Convention.

Filmed ahead of a major July 10th launch at Curtis Granderson Stadium in Chicago, this interview dives into how card collecting can be more than a hobby—it can be a gateway to entrepreneurship, education, and empowerment. Curtis shares his childhood love for Ken Griffey Jr. cards, how his nonprofit CBEA is getting kids on college campuses through baseball and softball, and why this initiative is so close to his heart.

Samuel brings the perspective of a true collector and educator, breaking down the four pillars of “Hobby 2.0”: Entrepreneurship, Industry, Community, and Accessibility. He explains how the hobby is evolving, and how kids can now build businesses, learn data-driven strategy, and connect across cultures through collecting.

From Otani to Devers, Griffey to Verlander, the group also discusses how trades, fandom, and regional loyalty drive card value and excitement. This is a must-watch for collectors, fans, parents, and educators alike.

👉 Don’t miss out on how this powerful partnership is reshaping collecting for the next generation.
