Whit Merrifield and Lindsay Dunn are back for another episode of 6ix Inning Stretch, breaking down everything from the revamped MLB Home Run Derby format to what really happens behind the scenes at the All-Star Game. Whit shares why players leave early, gives his thoughts on the Blue Jays' position ahead of the trade deadline, discusses Kevin Gausman trade speculation, Shohei Ohtani's latest injury, and explains what trade deadline week is actually like inside a major league clubhouse. The duo also answers fan questions on John Schneider, clubhouse meetings, trade rumors, the looming 2027 labour situation, and some of the strangest hobbies around MLB, before diving into plenty of golf talk and a few hilarious off-topic stories.

Later in the show, Lindsay chats with Astros first baseman and three-time Gold Glove winner Christian Walker to discuss his elite defense, memorable career plays, the South Carolina Gamecocks Hall of Fame, and his longtime friendship with Whit dating back to their college days.
