Effectively Wild Episode 2195: To Trade, or Not to Trade

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Mason Miller’ s hand fracture, the extremely slow pitches of Ildemaro Vargas , a Dylan Cease no-hitter, the punchless Mariners, the impending return of Rich Hill , what the teams with the toughest decisions at the trade deadline should do, updates on Clayton Kershaw (good!) and Mike Trout (not good!), Christian Yelich’ s back, the ageless Carlos Santana , Juan Yepez as the new Joey Meneses , follow-ups on Aaron Judge ’s zone rate and Oneil Cruz , a CBA change to mitigate the effects of the cable bubble bursting, and more. Then (1:21:55) they talk to Richie Flores, second VP of the National Beep Baseball Association and player for the Bayou City Heat, about the development of the sport and the league, and the Beep Baseball World Series.
