## Resource

As we glide past the 2026 season's halfway point, it's time to identify the best free agent signing in MLB. That would be our latest guest on the podcast, Nationals starting pitcher Foster Griffin. Bradfo sits down with Foster to talk about his journey, how he found this success and what it's like to be an All-Star in Japan. There is also a conversation with Griffin's manager, Blake Butera, who goes into detail about the impact Dustin Pedroia has made on him. And to finish things off, Bradfo catches up with Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow to talk about communication with players as the trade deadline gets closer.
