The MLB Trade Deadline may be over, but the fallout is only beginning. DVR and Eno break down the biggest stories still shaping baseball, including the shocking trade that sent Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles to the Boston Red Sox and what it means for both franchises moving forward. The New York Yankees made one of the most surprising roster moves of the season by promoting top prospect George Lombard Jr. while optioning Anthony Volpe and Jasson Domínguez. DVR and Eno discuss what the moves say about New York's future, how Elliott Ramos fits into the roster, and whether the Yankees are positioning themselves for another deep postseason run. The guys also examine the biggest winners and losers from the trade deadline, including a closer look at Emmet Sheehan's demotion, the Dodgers' loaded rotation after acquiring Tarik Skubal, Washington's infield auditions and Atlanta's playoff outlook.
