Ben Lindbergh, Meg Rowley, and FanGraphs author Ben Clemens banter a couple of flummoxing enjoyable reality, Justin Verlander’s profession vs. Max Scherzer’s profession, and Max Meyer’s Tommy John surgical procedure, then (24:55) talk about the Andrew Benintendi commerce, Joey Gallo’s struggles, and the most important questions surrounding the commerce deadline earlier than (45:53) reviewing “different” Ben’s work on the annual FanGraphs Commerce Worth collection, specializing in the list-making course of, gamers who simply missed the reduce, Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani, Oneil Cruz, the surprisingly underperforming high three, Julio Rodríguez, Yordan Alvarez, Mike Trout, the relative lack of pitchers, and extra. After that, they finish (1:30:57) with a Stat Blast about large leaguers on minor league rehab assignments, plus a Previous Blast from 1883 and a postscript.
