Episode MLB Trade Deadline: What's Next for the Mets, Yankees & Dodgers?

0:00 57:46

MLB Trade Deadline week continues with DVR, Eno and Britt Ghiroli discussing strategies for both ends of the spectrum. The Yankees and Dodgers are looking towards the postseason while the Mets are looking towards next year. They break down the Yankees' search for offensive help following Cody Bellinger's injury and the ongoing absence of Aaron Judge. Plus, they examine whether the Dodgers should make another blockbuster move despite already having baseball's deepest roster, and what the Mets' long-term plan should be.

The crew also debates potential landing spots for trade targets including Zach Neto, CJ Abrams, Matt Chapman and Tarik Skubal, examines which roster upgrades make the most sense for each contender, and wraps up the show by discussing Salvador Perez's Hall of Fame case after he became the Royals' all-time home run leader.
