For the first time in over a month, the entire Positive Spin Rate crew is back! Jason, Heather, Slickhawk, and Casey catch up on their favorite moments from the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby, reflect on the draft, revisit some of our trade deadline predictions, and take a look at where our teams stand heading into the second half of the season.

Then Heather and Slickhawk talk to Pirates prospect and Altoona Curve outfielder Canaan Smith-Njigba about what it's like being back after a COVID-cancelled minor league season last year, getting traded from the Yankees to the Pirates, and his Connect Four dominance.

Check out our friends Céspedes Family BBQ's bike trip to Chicago for a great cause here.
