  • Show has struggled since the new format

    Show has not been the same since they moved to 2 hours. Segments are often rushed , or missed completely. When they try to get 2 insiders on the show , the 5 of them are talking over each other.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Phillips on Gausman's trade trajectory, the Blue Jays' roster outlook and the MLB CBA impact
Q: Steve, we've been talking about what the Blue Jays might be able to get back here. For most of these packages, we're probably not talking about number one and number two guys, but what name out there excites you the most that could bring the biggest return?
Phillips suggests that Jays likely won't fetch premium, top-tier prospects for every asset; instead, they may land mid-level upside players and controllable arms. The analysis emphasizes balance between short-term impact and long-term value, with closer attention to pitchers like Gausman and Bieber and position players such as Varsho, while considering market dynamics and the teams' relative needs.
OverDrive - July 31, 2026 - Hour 2 - Steve Phillips
Q: What is the strategic rationale behind potentially adding Tariq Scoobel to the Brewers' rotation?
Scoobel would bring young upside and a strong development trajectory to pair with Mizorowski, potentially giving the Brewers a competitive edge in the rotation for next season while staying under salary pressures.
OverDrive - July 31, 2026 - Hour 2 - Steve Phillips
Q: How does the front office decide if a player like Louis Varland is 'untouchable' or tradable?
There's no truly untouchable player; teams evaluate offers, the age curve, prospect impact, and how a deal aligns with long-term roster construction. The process involves weighing current value against future potential and salary implications.
OverDrive - July 31, 2026 - Hour 2 - Steve Phillips
Q: What factors should the Jays consider when deciding whether to start Kevin Gausman in the lead-up to the deadline?
Gausman's current form and health, his contract situation, and the potential return if traded must be weighed against the risk of losing him for nothing in free agency. Front offices consider assets vs. immediate needs and the long-term trajectory of the rotation.
OverDrive - July 29, 2026 - Hour 2 - Dan Patrick
Q: What's your take on LeBron's potential impact with the Sixers, and how would you describe his role this season?
Patrick argued that LeBron could serve as a facilitator and mentor, guiding younger players like Embiid and Maxey, while maintaining his own high-level performance, but acknowledged it's a delicate balance and subject to team chemistry.
