This week's hot topic in the baseball world is expansion/realignment, so of course we have to talk about that! (Thanks for dropping that bomb on us Manfred). Plus, the new ESPN deal buying MLB.tv - lots of thoughts on that. And, of course, our usual recaps.

Not the most enjoyable listen for Twins fans as we discuss the Pohlad Family pulling the Twins off the market and question what I may mean in the future

Apparently, August is the month of interdivisional series- there's a lot of them all at once. Cleveland is making Detroit nervous, the Royals are treading water, and the Twins might not be quite as bad as we thought. In the spirit of the Tigers 0.2% postseason odds this time last year, we look at the current playoff picture.

The trade deadline has come and gone. All is quiet on the Western Front. Now, it is time for everyone to complain about how their front office is incompetent. Twins had a fire sale, Royals soft bought while the Guardians sold a little and White Sox did some things. And how bout those Tigers, huh?

So, what's going on with the Tigers? and for that matter, what is going on with the Guardians? The White Sox are on a heater, and we tier list potential trade chips for the selling teams

1 division, likely 4 selling teams and we discuss the draft.

In this episode we talk about the All-Star Rosters, The Guardians losing 10 straight, the Royals and Twins showing life (kinda?) and Luis Ortiz is under investigation.

Dan and Eric try to be romantic about baseball while watching their teams struggle while the Tigers continue to flourish. We then talk about how good Tarik Skubal has been and talk about previous draft results.
