Jorge Castillo and Buster Olney discuss what is going on with the Dodgers and Mark Walter, why Walter needs cash, the real reason the Dodgers are all-in on this season, how Shohei Ohtani should leverage the situation, Yankees pitcher Max Fried heading to the IL, if Aaron Judge can be Aaron Judge in October, and Mets owner Steve Cohen speaking to the media about a disastrous season. Then, Hembo stops by to talk about whether an American League team with a sub-.500 record will make the postseason, how to improve an already very good challenge system in MLB, nobody watching Orioles slugger Pete Alonso mash, Braves ace Chris Sale entering a new stratosphere, how Pete Crow-Armstrong’s season is even better than Hembo realized, and why every dynasty needs a Max Muncy. Then, Sarah Langs plays The Numbers Game. Later, Buster answers your questions during Bleacher Tweets.
