Episode Description

It’s the most magical of baseball holidays: Bobby Bonilla Day! Baseball’s most legendary deferred payment continues, and Pete has the updated list of players who will be cashing checks long after their cleats hit the shelf. Bobby may have been the first, but he’s no longer alone.

Meanwhile, the trade deadline is just a month away, but you'd never know it. After what looked like a hot start (Rafael Devers), the stove is lukewarm at best, and the rumor mill is oddly quiet. Should we be concerned, or are the GMs just waiting each other out?

Both the Cardinals and Cubs are trending up, but with very different outlooks. Elliott and Pete are both on board with the Cubs buying — aggressively, if possible — but Ron is still waiting on the Cardinals to make good on their promise to clear the deck and let the kids take the wheel.

Finally, peer pressure pays off, as Pete has agreed to watch Andor. Yes, really. But before you question his judgment, he redeems himself by delivering the finest outro in ToR history. You be the judge.
