Who Cares About The Trade Deadline?


Listen Later

Ep. 84 — Alex and Bobby talk about MLB’s plan to play at the Field of Dreams, and discuss the mechanics of playing in a corn field in Iowa. Then they dive into all the trade deadline news they missed, including some major moves and not-so-major ones. They zoom out to talk about how we as fans engage with the trade deadline, and how teams have shaped that mentality over the last couple decades. This week’s Three Up, Three Down features a whole lot of good Mets players and some choice Zack Greinke anecdotes.
