Blake Murphy is joined by Spin Rate podcast's Drew Fairservice to chat about the Red Sox's struggles in their first series post all-star break, if the Blue Jays are settled with their group of fielders, if he believes in Raimel Tapia's bat, and would the Boston become sellers at the trade deadline (7:52). The Athletic's Eno Sarris explains why "Three True Outcomes" (a home run, a walk or a strikeout) are down this season, and what makes Ross Stripling's changeup intriguing (28:13). FanGraphs' Ben Clemens jumps on to discuss the chances for the Cardinals to send prospects for Nationals' Juan Soto, if Marlins' Pablo Lopez will be moved with two years left on his contract, and the market for catchers (50:12). MLB Network's Jon Morosi weighs in on what needs to change in the international draft and free agent pool, why he's high on Soto being traded before the deadline, and where the Blue Jays will pivot in the pitching market (1:13:47).
