## Resource

Don Mattingly publicly fires back at Bryce Harper, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the Phillies’ growing dysfunction could end with a franchise-altering breakup. They debate whether Mattingly was holding his star accountable or simply protecting the front office and his son, then explore a blockbuster Bryce Harper-for-Francisco Lindor trade that could completely reshape the Mets and Phillies. Evan and Tiki weigh Harper’s fit alongside Juan Soto, Lindor’s uncertain future in Queens and why the proposed swap could end badly for everyone. They also revisit the Yankees’ extra-inning failures, debate their trade-deadline options, react to Shaun Morash’s controversial pizza rankings and question whether a LeBron James documentary can recreate the impact of The Last Dance.
