## Resource

Blake Murphy is Fangraphs’ Jon Becker to talk about some of the new features on Fangraphs and the favourites to win the Home Run Derby. Afterwards, Cody Stavenhagen (30:10) of the Athletic phones in to discuss the chances Tarik Skubal is dealt and Justin Verlander announcing he is retiring at the conclusion of the 2026 season. Mike Petriello (50:01) of MLB.com follows up to describe the unheralded durability of Dylan Cease and the Blue Jays’ uncharacteristic strikeout rate. Lastly, Kyle Glaser (1:14:57) of Foul Territory previews the San Diego Padres ahead of their three-game set vs. Toronto.
