EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a silly kerfuffle involving Miles Mikolas, Willson Contreras, and Ian Happ, Triston Casas’s hot streak and previous unwritten-rules run-in, Bullet Rogan vs. Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge’s return and the Yankees’ underlying issues, the Mets trading David Robertson to the Marlins and the White Sox sending Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly to the Dodgers and Kendall Graveman to the Astros, White Sox historical franchise futility, which of this season’s most disappointing teams is most likely to bounce back in 2024, and Royals owner John Sherman’s claims about the economic impact of the team’s future ballpark, plus emails (1:19:45) about a homerless MVP and MLB ownership vs. NFL ownership, and a Future Blast (1:27:26) from 2039.
