Episode Finding Trade Fits for Position Players
It’s time to fire up the Trade Master 3000! Today, Eno, Jed, and DVR unveil their boldest trade proposals ahead of the MLB trade deadline, including one that sends a former batting champ east and another that ships a former first-round pick south. Then, it’s another round of Name! That! Dude!, as the guys put their baseball knowledge to the test. To wrap things up, Jed recaps his trip to Fanatics Fest and shares some of his favorite moments.
