Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss the most recent update to the Free Agent Power Rankings, including a lot of weak performances by players in their walk years, but also guys such as Brandon Woodruff, Lucas Giolito and Bo Bichette who are trending upward. They also get into the details of Roman Anthony's contract extension with the Red Sox.

Listener question topics include whether Tigers fans should be worried, if Tarik Skubal should be traded this offseason, whether or not Mark Vientos and Pete Alonso will be a part of the Mets' infield next season, and if piggybacking starters makes sense for the Blue Jays down the stretch.

Anthony Franco and Steve Adams join Darragh McDonald to recap the trade deadline. They discuss the Padres' deadline haul and A.J. Preller's willingness to trade away prospects, Leo De Vries and the rest of the Athletics' return for Mason Miller and JP Sears, the Twins selling off most of their bullpen and dumping Carlos Correa's salary on the Astros, the Mariners bolstering their offense with Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor, the Diamondbacks keeping Zac Gallen, the general lack of high-end starters moved this year, whether the Rangers acquisition of Merrill Kelly will put them over the luxury tax, the Mets targeting pitchers with different styles to beef up their bullpen, the Yankees making bullpen moves and those guys struggling in their first looks with their new team, if Ke'Bryan Hayes will hit better with the Reds than he did with the Pirates, whether trading a top prospect for Shane Bieber was a good idea for the Blue Jays, why the Red Sox made the trade for Dustin May, and the Tigers and Cubs not making any big moves.

Steve Adams and Anthony Franco both join Darragh McDonald to preview Thursday's trade deadline.

Topics include how teams like the Padres try to simultaneously buy and sell at the deadline, the Royals extending Seth Lugo and deciding to go for it, Luis Robert's future, where pieces from the clear-selling Pirates and Marlins might end up, how the Mariners could leverage their strong farm system in trades, Eugenio Suarez and other trade chips that the Diamondbacks hold, the Yankees trading for Ryan McMahon and how they will act in light of Aaron Judge's injury, the Rockies actually making deadline trades, if the Twins will trade more than just their rentals, how the Emmanuel Clase situation will affect the Guardians' decision making, the Cardinals' questionable retooling strategy, the Brewers not being involved in prominent rumors despite having the best record in baseball, Cincinnati being an unpredictable team as they still sit on the bubble, the Giants probably planning to buy despite being pretty disappointing, whether the Phillies will be motivated to make a huge move, and if the Nationals will move MacKenzie Gore.
