From playing JC baseball to leaving the game altogether, to say Giants' prospect Bo Davidson's journey to the pros is improbable would be a gross understatement. The 23-year-old lefty-swinging outfielder has all the physical tools to be elite. And he is starting to put a lot of them to good use. Davidson batted 281/376/468 between Eugene (High A) and Richmond (AA). He finished 2025 with 18 HRs, 70 RBIs, and 19 SBs. He ended the season strong in Richmond, flashing the potential that places him near the top of the Giants' prospect list.

In this one-on-one, Cheats and Bo discuss his journey, which began in North Carolina. He played multiple sports growing up, but ultimately settled on baseball. The learning curve at the professional level is steep, but Bo is prepared to take on the challenge. Led by his faith in God and his belief in his ability, he plans to get to the MLB sooner rather than later.

The whole Monday crew is back! Cheats, Flobo, April, and, yes, Malik is back, too. Let's go! We're talking the end of the regular season, and we predict the playoff picture. The Mariners went to Houston and took the Astros' lunch money - sweeping all three games. They now have a three-game lead in the AL West, and the Stros are out of the playoffs, looking in. Can they turn it around in the last six games? Can the Tigers hold off complete disater? Their second-half collapse has opened the door for the Guardians to win the AL Central. Detroit goes to Cleveland tomorrow for the most critical series left in the regular season. The Mets, Reds, and Diamondbacks will be fighting it out to the finish in the NL Wild Card bracket.

The crew talks about all of that and much more. Lock in with us for the next 90 minutes.

On this special episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape podcast, I sat down with Giants' prospect Scott Bandura. Scott split his 2025 season between Eugene (High A) and Richmond (AA). He held a 271/367/400 slash line between the two divisions, along with 41 stolen bases, 65 RBIs, and 10 home runs.

Scott is from inner-city Philadelphia and played on the Taney Little League team that went to the Little League World Series, featuring Mo'ne Davis (Scott was the catcher). He then went on to play at Princeton, where, despite spending three years on campus, he only played one full season before being drafted by the Giants in the 7th round of the 2023 MLB Draft.

Scott's superpower is his character and leadership qualities. He learned those at an early age from his parents (Steve and Robin) and carries them with him everywhere he goes. He is a natural leader and wears the title well. Being a leader and team uniter is something he takes great pride in. And it may be those leadership attributes - along with his on-field performance - that take him to the Major Leagues.

This is a special episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape. This is a conversation with Kamal Carter and Kyle Williams. They are the founders and leaders of A Long Talk About the Uncomfortable Truth. These brothers travel across the country, leading a 21-day anti-racism activation experience designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to combat racism in their daily lives.

I saw their presentation earlier this year at the American Baseball Coaches Association Conference in Washington, DC. They presented to the Diversity Committee, chaired by Mizzou Baseball Coach Kerrick Jackson, and it was truly compelling. Kyle and Kamal have worked with numerous college teams to create an environment that begins with dialogue and culminates in greater unity.

I call this the Black Baseball Mixtapes' most important conversation EVER because it's bigger than baseball. I hope this conversation encourages you to seek future conversations, and if you're a coach at any level of any team. Seek out this program. It may change the culture of your team for the better.

For more information about A Long Talk or to get in direct contact with Kamal and Kyle, please visit their website at https://alongtalk.com/ or reach out to them on social media.

Who's having a career year? The Monday night podcast crew (Cheats, April, and Flobo) takes on this challenge and discusses Byron Buxton, Jo Adell, and Trent Grisham. They also talk about who should win the AL MVP, Aaron Judge or Cal Raleigh. They also discuss Framber Valdez's struggles with his catcher, the Nationals' rebuild, Elly De La Cruz's future position, and the battle between the Dodgers and the Padres.
