Today’s word of the day is ‘arms race’ as in trades as in flurry as in Mets as in Phillies as in Mariners as in buyers as in sellers! Let’s start with the slugger. Eugenio Suarez is back to the Mariners. Big pop. Joins Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. The Mets and Phillies is the real arms race. The Mets trade for a bullpen arm. The Phillies trade for a closer. The Mets then trade for another bullpen arm! That’s how it goes. The divisional race then the bullpen race. The Reds have traded for Ke’Bryan Hayes from the Pirates. He is an elite defensive player. He is so bad at the plate. The Red Sox traded for Steven Matz last night. He’s a starter that’s been in the bullpen. Review: Field of Dreams. Shohei Ohtani was pulled from his start for cramping in his hip. It was the first time he went into inning 4 this year. He stayed in the game as DH. NPPOD. Let’s talk about the Yankees and Anthony Volpe. The errors won’t stop. The great, the legendary, the broadcast God, Bob Costas joins us! We talk hall of fame, we talk Ryne Sandberg, we talk hall of fame voting, we talk the state of baseball! Max Scherzer is a funny guy. He said he can’t wait to have a face-to-face with Rob Manfred. Why? You have his number! Shannon Sharpe is out at ESPN. Done. Finished. Just weeks after his lawsuit was settled. Gilbert Arenas was arrested for hosting poker games. Here’s why he can’t do that.

Today’s word of the day is ‘Fleetwood Mac’ as in rumors as in trade deadline as in the Miami Marlins as in sellers as in buyers! The Marlins have two of the biggest trade chips in the sport right now with Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera. What calls are they taking? Are they holding out for more? The Giants have the worst record in baseball since the trade for Rafael Devers. Oh boy. What will Buster Posey do? We have a rare trade! A trade in-between a doubleheader! The Minnesota Twins are finished. Byron Buxton is hurt again. Horrible. Ronald Acuna is hurt again. This is a sad one. He’s missed so many games due to injury. Framber Valdez was not happy with his teammate. Review: The Accountant 2. There’s been updates on the shooting in NYC the other day. The man had a suicide note about his brain, and CTE, and how much he hated the NFL. Jimmy Haslam had some more quotes that need to be discussed. He’s the owner of the Cleveland Browns. NPPOD.

It’s another So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! Let’s go! First up is about Tom Brady and his comments about Scottie Scheffler and fatherhood. Hmm. How much control does the manager have during and before a game? Does a manager like Bruce Bochy get more control? Does the Yankees ownership cave to fans? Why doesn’t MLB have a RedZone channel? Is this something they will do? How do teams authenticate that trade proposals are real?

Today’s word of the day is ‘sadness’ as in just a terrible morning for so many of us. Ryne Sandberg died last night after a long battle with cancer. Sadness because of a mass shooting in New York City yesterday after a gunman stormed a building and killed four people. What are we doing? What is this country? Trying to honor Ryne Sandberg on a day like today is hard, but he deserves it. Bryce Harper and Rob Manfred got into it. Wow. Harper cussed out Manfred over a meeting that the commissioner was having with the Phillies. Manfred stood his ground. This CBA negotiation will be ugly. Review: Sovereign. Eugenio Suarez was hit on the hand yesterday. Uh oh. X-rays were negative, sigh of relief. Emmanuel Clase is under investigation for gambling. Here we go again. Tom Bogert joins us! We have soccer talk! Thomas Muller transfer to MLS? Messi is mad at MLS? Tom will break it all down! Steph Curry thinks he’s underpaid. Here is why. Equity. NPPOD. NFL players are in big trouble for selling Super Bowl tickets. Uh oh! The NFLPA is still going through it. Every week is a new story. This time its a criminal investigation into funds.

Today’s word of the day is ‘surreal’ as in what a weekend as in Hall of Fame as in Ichiro Suzuki as in CC Sabathia as in Billy Wagner as in Dave Parker as in Dick Allen. An unbelievable weekend. I’m still a bit speechless with what happened in Cooperstown. This first hour is all about the Hall of Fame. There’s just too much to cover. Aaron Judge is hurt. Horrible. Having one of the best offensive seasons we’ve ever seen, and now a flexor strain and straight to the IL. The Astros got swept by the Athletics. So many injuries for Houston. How will they respond? Are reinforcements coming? The Atlanta Braves are finished. All five Opening Day starters are on the IL. That’s how fast things end in MLB. Seth Lugo is signing an extension with the Royals. One of the biggest trade chips is now off the market. Review: Stick. NPPOD

The clock is ticking if the city wants a new stadium on the Commanders timeline. Review: KPop Demon Hunters. Austin, Texas wants baseball. It’s trying to get a Major League Baseball team.

Today’s word of the day is ‘defensive’ as in the Yankees as in Aaron Boone as in ejected as in the Blue Jays as in errors. The Yankees defense has been bad. Anthony Volpe has been bad. The Yankees are now 4 games back of the Blue Jays and lost the tiebreaker if the season ends tied. Let’s talk about Boone and his comments postgame. Automated ball-strike system is coming to baseball. It’s a guarantee. The union is going to do what it can to make the transition as difficult as possible. Tony Clark wants a buffer-zone? WHAT!? Would you trade for Dylan Cease? That’s the big question for teams right now. Why are the Padres selling? Shohei Ohtani is magic. Everything he does is magic. Are you paying attention? Review: RRR.

What other teams should we be paying attention to? Messi didn’t play in the All-Star Game yesterday. Wow. For rest? NFL isn’t going anywhere. The Packers financials came out. And MONEY! But that’s not all. More NFLPA drama. A concession strike! No food or drink for you at Fenway!

Today’s word of the day is ‘crazy train’ as in Ozzy Osbourne as in he Prince of Darkness as in Parkinson’s as in the MLB season. Let’s start with Rafael Devers. He made his debut at first base with the Giants yesterday. Said he loves playing the field. Oh? Aaron Boone is having a rough go of it right now. He went off on the Jomboy team. The Yankees have a problem with Anthony Volpe. He has been bad bad bad at short stop, and Boone and Cashman will defend him to the grave. Ethan Holliday is the new record holder in Draft history. A monster $9 million signing bonus! Review: My Mom Jayne. The Los Angeles Times going public? That’s the plan. Will it work? NPPOD. Qatar wants the Olympics in 2036. Is it going to happen? It’s So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! First up, someone asked me about an owner being forced out. What would it take? How does it work? Someone asked me about how taxes work for athletes. Do they have to play in games to be taxed? Just show up? A correction for Coca? It can’t be! Why has no one asked Mookie Betts about that early season sickness? He lost a lot of weight. He has not been himself this year. Pat McAfee wanted to step up and pay for budget cuts. Hmm. What is a workout like for a player that wants to be signed in season? The Phillies signed David Robertson recently. How did that look? We have a question about the WNBA and CBA negotiations. Does expansion mean anything for leverage?

Today’s word of the day is ‘sabotage’ as in Dodgers as in Brewers as in Dave Roberts as in down bad. The Los Angeles Dodgers were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers and Dave Roberts can’t figure it out. The Dodgers have struggled over the past few weeks and have lost ground in the division. The Brewers, however, have been streaking… 10-straight! The Mets still have some problem. 2nd worst record in baseball over the past 31 games. Not great! The Yankees and Braves have some beef that MLB is going to look into. Ketel Marte was on the Restricted List after his house was burglarized during the All-Star break. He said over $400K was stolen from his home! A ring was busted for stealing from other professional athletes recently. Review: The Phoenician Scheme. J.C. Tretter is out at the NFLPA. Finished. Another member of the NFLPA has been PTFO’d. NPPOD. Donald Trump has taken aim a the Washington Commanders and the Cleveland Guardians. He wants the name changed back. He has threatened the Commanders stadium deal. This is a big deal. The WNBA All-Star Game was this weekend. Did you watch? The players wore shirts before the game calling out the league. The CBA negotiations are ongoing and that are contentious. Dee Strange-Gordon went viral for his comments on the 2015 season. He said a player, alluding to Bryce Harper, called him and told him not to win the batting title. What!? We have the numbers on some first round picks in the MLB Draft. The Nationals are giving Eli Willits nearly $3 million under slot. Why is that? Scottie Scheffler wins again.

We have some huge series ready to go. Review: Old Guard 2. Caitlin Clark is out of the All-Star Game that’ll be played in Indiana. Sad. Injuries suck.
