The Rafael Devers Debate, Phillies Surging in NL East & MLB Power Rankings

Is Rafael Devers getting an unfair reputation?

On today's episode, I explain why I think the conversation surrounding Devers has gone too far and why his teammates tell a much different story than the headlines.

Then it's time for this week's MLB Power Rankings. The Phillies continue their surge, the Braves have stumbled after leading the NL East comfortably just weeks ago, the Dodgers remain on top, and several teams are making major moves as we approach the trade deadline.
