About this episode

The episode discusses Mookie Betts' injury, Dodgers' performance, and potential trade targets as the team prepares for upcoming games.

Alanna Rizzo, Katie Woo, and Clint Pasillas recap the Los Angeles Dodgers series with the A's and the extended road trip for LA. While the club lost the final game of the trip -- a bullpen punt game -- the big story is Mookie Betts being scratched from the starting lineup with an injury. The Dodgers downplayed the issue, but we've heard that story before. What are the concern levels with Mookie? And can this turn into a Will Smith type of absence? (8:56) The Dodgers have a commanding lead in the NL West. Is there any worry about complacency? (16:11) With the calendar turning to July, it's time for a Q&A catch-up in today's edition of Bleedin' Blue. In the chat, the hosts address questions about potential trade targets including Joe Ryan of the Twins and Sonny Gray of the Red Sox. Plus thoughts on the eventual returns of Edwin Diaz and Evan Phillips to the bullpen (35:46) Finally, we look ahead to another series with the Padres who are down and maybe out of it. 🌶️ Use our code for 10% off your next order of MLB tickets on SeatGeek*: seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.
