Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

Episode 452: The Trade Deadline has come and gone.

Several franchises have made decisions that will alter the history of baseball. The Dodgers predictably acquired two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and set the league ablaze. The guys discuss the ramifications of the deal, as well as the conspiracy theories it sparked across the league regarding a potential lockout.

They go on to discuss the winners and losers of the trade deadline, including the Cubs’ spree on pitching, the Yankees’ modest acquisitions, and Luis Castillo heading to the South Side of Chicago.
