## Resource

Red Sox, Twins, and Tigers surge in the standings, throwing the MLB trade deadline into chaos. With Tarik Skubal, Sonny Gray, and Aroldis Chapman once eyed as prime trade chips, their teams’ unexpected winning streaks could turn sellers into playoff contenders. Can Boston close a three-game gap and should Minnesota or Detroit hold—and even buy—at the deadline? Sully raises the stakes for teams on the bubble as the American League playoff picture becomes wide open. Plus, as Dylan Cease flirts with a no-hitter and Jarred Jones gets pulled during a perfect game bid, the episode challenges the trend of yanking pitchers early—are MLB teams sacrificing unforgettable moments for analytics? Sully also sounds off on the Giants' collapse and suggests every player’s up for grabs as San Francisco faces a crucial week. Don’t miss this sharp, fast-paced look at postseason races and baseball’s obsession with caution.
