  • Several teams still in the mushy middle: Cubs, Yankees, Diamondbacks (10:15)
  • Reds reportedly willing to trade Jonathan India, or are they? (17:10)
  • What are the Padres doing with Blake Snell and Josh Hader? (21:45)

    Did the Angels actually pull a cool move by pretending they were thinking about trading Ohtani knowing that would keep all trading on hold while they made a deal for Giolito nobody saw coming? If so F brilliant

      Moreno has a history of smoke and mirrors so it’s possible.

        Does he? He has a reputation of acting quickly, swooping in, coming out of nowhere…not blowing smoke.

        Huge three game series this weekend.

        If the Angels manage to win 2 out of 3 against the blue jays. They will own the tiebreaker against the Yankees, Red Sox and Jays.

      You don’t think the White Sox did any calling around? They just took the first offer they got?
