Then, he dives into the Yankees-White Sox series. How should Chicago's front office approach the deadline? How are the Yankees doing without Aaron Judge?

The MLBPA and owners began negotiations on a new CBA this week in New York ahead of the current deal expiring in December.

Then we dive into the baseball. We break down Cristopher Sánchez's historic May, a loaded...

The Cubs are in a complete freefall. They've racked up 9 straight losses, their longest skid since 2022, and are now out of a playoff spot. They've joined the 2017 Dodgers as the only expansion-era teams with two 10-game win streaks AND a 9-game losing streak in one season. We break down what's gone wrong. The Cubs are not alone, though. The Red Sox got swept at home by the Twins and t...

The Red Sox fired Alex Cora and five coaches one month into year two of his three-year, $21.75M extension. Is this Craig Breslow's last-ditch attempt to save his own job?

Then we dive into the massive Padres ownership news, a $3.9 BILLION sale to...

We kick things off with a Buy or Sell debate on some of the hottest starts in baseball. Is Oneil Cruz's new approach legit? Can Sal Stewart keep mashing? Is Nico Hoerner really this good?
