## Resource

Reports indicating that the San Diego Padres could listen to trade offers on closer Mason Miller have opened up a dramatic deadline scenario for New York baseball. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down whether the Yankees or Mets should swallow a toxic contract like Xander Bogaerts or Manny Machado if it means securing Miller's elite arm. Plus, the show breaks down John Harbaugh's leadership style compared to Mike Vrabel's intense approach, while reacting to a hilarious viral tweet from MLB insider Jon Heyman. Earlier, Evan shares a stomach-churning game from his morning bike ride along the West Side Highway that devolves into an absurd debate over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lore. To close things out, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash go head-to-head in a competitive edition of New Team Who Dis to test their knowledge on NFL offseason player moves.
