On today’s GM Territory, Jim Bowden and Trey Bowden break down one of the most memorable MLB debuts of the season as Joshua Baez makes history for the St. Louis Cardinals. Why did it take the Cardinals so long to call him up — and what can we expect from Baez moving forward?

Plus, the Yankees could be getting two huge pieces back soon with Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger nearing their returns. What does a healthier Yankees lineup look like down the stretch, and how much does it change their outlook?

We also dive into:

⚾ CJ Abrams moving from shortstop to second base — why Washington is making the change and what it could mean for his future.

⚾ Colton Emerson’s injury situation — and the questions surrounding how truthful he was about what happened.

⚾ The Giants hosting the 2028 MLB All-Star Game — and the fascinating connection between the Midsummer Classic and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Could Major League Baseball be headed toward another lockout?

On today’s GM Territory, Jim Bowden and Trey Bowden dive into the growing labor battle between MLB and the Players Association and why the blockbuster Tarik Skubal trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers could have major implications well beyond the 2026 season.

We also break down the devastating Hunter Greene injury. We discuss whether his previous elbow issues played a role in how the Reds handled him this season, what his recovery timeline could look like, and how potentially losing Greene for a significant portion of 2027 changes Cincinnati’s plans moving forward.

⚾ Why MLB could be headed toward a lockout

⚾ The salary cap and competitive-balance debate
