About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of the MLB trade market with insights from insiders Jon Morosi and Jeff Passan.

MLB Network insider Jon Morosi (0:58) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker in the second hour of the off-day edition. They look ahead to the All-Star game and which pitchers will get the start, the state of the trade market, the Jays' deadline plans, Aaron Judge's absence taking a toll on the slumping Yankees, and whether we'll ever see another pitching career like Justin Verlander's or Max Scherzer's. Later, ESPN insider Jeff Passan stops by (26:25) to discuss Kevin Gausman's trade market, why the Jays shouldn't look to build for 2027 at the trade deadline, Dylan Cease's near no-hitter, and the looming extinction of the 300-win pitcher.
