About this episode

Buster Olney discusses trade destinations for Tarik Skubal and interviews Cardinals pitcher Michael McGreevy about his career and the team's performance.

Hembo joins the show to discuss Houston's no-hitter and if it might impact their "seller" status at the trade deadline. Buster and Hembo also discuss Tarik Skubal's potential destinations, including the team Buster thinks will land him. They also hit on JJ Wetherholt's rise, Jacob Misiorowski's dominance, and Nolan McLean's struggles. Cardinals pitcher Michael McGreevy then joins the show to discuss his game, why he was upset about his college coach's decision to move him from a two-way player to solely a pitcher, and the Cardinals quicker-than-expected rise. 0:00 - Top of the First: Hitters, Uribe, Skubal 2:55 - Hembo joins the show 3:36 - Does Astros no-hitter change their "seller" status? 6:35 - Rangers approach to the trade deadline 7:35 - What team could trade for Tarik Skubal? 13:15 - Cardinals rookie JJ Wetherholt is already impressive 15:34 - What has spurred Jacob Misiorowski's rapid improvement? 19:30 - Mets pitcher Nolan McLean's struggles 22:33 - Cardinals pitcher Michael McGreevy joins the show 22:44 - McGreevy's oulook on the NL Cy Young race 23:55 - Pitchers' strategic changes 25:12 - McGreevy's wide pitching arsenal 26:24 - Pitchers McGreevy tries to emulate 29:05…
