The Los Angeles Dodgers trade Gavin Lux from their infield depth to the Cincinnati Reds in a deal that looks like a signifcant swap for the future of the franchise. How did L.A. approach such a deal? And how crafty were they in terms of public statements versus what was happening behind the scenes?

Trading a former top prospect at shortstop that moved to second base seems like the track the Colorado Rockies should taken with Brendan Rodgers. How can the Rockies learn from the Dodgers clever wheeling-and-dealing?

And what's the latest with B-Rod's market in free agency?

With roughly 25% of ballots made public for the Class of 2025, both Tulo and CarGo have yet to receive a single vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame by BBWAA voters. How prestigious is it to even make a ballot? And which Rockies received one vote versus which received zero?

Plus, the Los Angeles Dodgers sign another international player and the Baltimore Orioles make a good, but wrong signing. Could the O's actually take a step back in 2025?

Moneyball, the book and the film, could not have happened without the Colorado Rockies. In a pair of transactions on back-to-back days, a key piece to the Oakland Athletics was let loose by the Rockies, helping build Michael Lewis' story and quite possibly giving an acting career to Chris Pratt.

Plus, the Marlins break down a playoff roster assembled by Kim Ng while Wil Myers calls it a career after torturing baseball fans in Denver for nearly a decade.

The Washington Nationals won the 2019 World Series and in less than two years, they looked in the mirror and recognized their run was over. Despite being loaded with stars such as Juan Soto, Max Scherzer, Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber, GM Mike Rizzo had to pull the parachute on his big league roster.

Now, with the addition of Nathaniel Lowe and Mike Soroka, the Nats appear poised to get back into the Wild Card chase in 2025. How did their rebuild happen quicker than the Rockies? And exactly how further behind is Colorado than their counterparts in D.C.?
