Steve Phillips and Buster talk all things trade deadline, including matching buyers, if the Rafael Devers trade ate up the San Francisco Giants’ flexibility, how the Seattle Mariners will get involved, managing up and down the org chart as a general manager, what “all in” means for the Blue Jays, if Emmanuel Clase will be available, the New York Mets needing to fortify the bullpen, why the Minnesota Twins should trade Royce Lewis, and why Steve’s bullish on the Cincinnati Reds. Then, Tim Kurkjian talks about not knowing what to expect from Ichiro Suzuki’s Hall of Fame speech, Tim’s moment with Johnny Bench at the Hall, a game ending on a catcher's interference call, the Milwaukee Brewers two-month tear and Toronto changing Buster’s mind.
