Trade Deadline Week is Here, Aaron Judge Injured, Nick Kurtz Makes History: MLB Weekend in Review | Ep. 314

We kick things off with a recap of our weekends (0:00), including Luis’s bachelor party trip to Atlanta and William’s tough playoff loss while coaching youth baseball.

Then we dive into the Yankees-Phillies series (7:41). The Yankees made two trades - one for Ryan McMahon and one for Amed Rosario - and we break down what each move means for their postseason hopes. We also react to the Aaron Judge injury scare, discuss the flexor strain diagnosis, and how this affects both the Yankees and the AL MVP race. On the field, the Yankees lost 2 of 3 to the Phillies - Friday and Saturday were ugly, but Sunday’s win over Zack Wheeler provided a much-needed boost, with McMahon delivering a clutch hit and showing off his defense all weekend.

Next, we share our thoughts on Hall of Fame weekend (30:45), highlight the careers of the new inductees, and discuss who might be next.

We close with our MLB Weekend in Review (37:28). The Red Sox took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, prompting Garrett Crochet to call out the FOX broadcast’s focus on L.A. The Reds swept the Rays and look like a team that needs to buy at the deadline. The Tigers’ freefall continued after losing 3 of 4 to the Blue Jays - what do they need to do at the trade deadline? Nick Kurtz put up one of the most absurd offensive performances in MLB history during the A’s four-game sweep in Houston. The Rangers stayed scorching hot with a sweep of the Braves. Cal Raleigh hit his 41st homer. The Mets swept the Giants in San Francisco, and the Rafael Devers trade isn’t aging well for the Giants. The Royals are locking in Bobby Witt Jr.’s future, the Cubs won the Crosstown Classic, and plenty more as trade deadline week officially gets underway.
