About this listen

We kick things off with a very random conversation (0:00) about the Labubu craze, and we wonder whether their values might crash sometime soon. From there, we turn to expansion cities (5:43), where Nashville looks like a lock to land a new team, but the big question is whether Salt Lake City or Charlotte will snag the other spot.Next up is the Yankees recap (10:55), starting with the two-game sweep over Tampa that featured a staggering 19 home runs—every run coming via the long ball. We break down David Bednar’s blown save, Devin Williams’ near-disaster, and how important these two wins were. Then we shift to Thursday night’s series opener in Boston, a 6–3 loss full of frustration thanks to four errors and nine walks. Why do the Yankees shrink when the lights are the brightest? We also share our thoughts on how the rest of the series could play out.Finally, we wrap things up with the MLB Week in Review (33:06), talking about Kyle Tucker playing through a broken hand, the Cubs taking three of five from Milwaukee (but why Thursday’s loss makes it feel meaningless), Detroit getting back on track, a sliding mitt epidemic, the Reds pushing the Mets for the third Wild Card spot, why Shea Langeliers deserves more credit, the Dodgers splitting with the Rockies, Philly continuing to set records, and plenty more.---CHAPTERS0:00 Intro5:43 Expansion Cities10:55 Yankees-Rays & Red Sox Game 1 Recap33:06 MLB Week in Review---
