## Resource

The fellas discuss the absurdity of Mike Trout trade conversations and why saying he should’ve forced his way out has always been detached from reality. We also chat about Shohei Ohtani’s pitching-only outing from Wednesday night, Sal Stewart’s blistering start and the potential NL Rookie of the Year race between him and Nolan McLean. And the boys’ Family Feud win streak meets its toughest challenge yet. -Sal Stewart Mania -Stephen A's Comments On Trout -Ohtani Sitting Not In Lineup During Starts -Padres Are Having A Blast -Family Feud NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 get $20 on Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/BID Learn more about your ad choices.
