Jorge Castillo and Buster Olney discuss George Lombard Jr. immediately making his mark offensively and defensively for the New York Yankees, if the Yankees are the best team in the American League when Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger return, why the Tampa Bay Rays remain underrated, how Freddy Peralta hashed things out between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, and why the Mets put out feelers on Lindor at the trade deadline. Then, Karl Ravech returns to the pod to talk about the mystery of the Seattle Mariners, his top three teams in MLB, Buster’s interesting arm comparison for Lombard Jr., and Alex Cora finding peace after Boston.
