Megapod: Trade Deadline Preview

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.
