Three guests join Jon Heyman and Josh Lewin this week, who begin the episode with a deep dive into several Wild Card contenders. Phillies general manager Matt Klentak is the first special guest to join the show, and he discusses who deserves the title of team MVP and who the Phillies are trying to hold onto (15:14), followed by Brewers vice president and assistant GM Matt Arnold, who dives into how the team has stayed positive following Christian Yelich's injury and who they're leaning on down the stretch (26:08). The last guest, Marc Topkin, returns to the show to talk Tampa Bay Rays and how they've brought together such a strong team in such touch circumstances (34:04). To wrap, Jon Heyman brings us insider information on various topics including the future of Joe Maddon (43:44).
