First and foremost, are you ready for the 8th annual Baldwin Scale review of MLB GMs?
Episode 74—the Kenley Jansen edition—of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast is all-in on the midseason trade deadline with Jed Rigney’s annual evaluation via the Baldwin Scale of every MLB team’s transaction performance. Did your team get an Alec, a Billy, a Stephen or a Daniel rating? Before we get to the Baldwin Scale, first there are this week’s Headlines and a look at the Astros and Dodgers getting listed as favorites to advance to the World Series following the trade deadline activities, Aaron Judge breaking his wrist, the Mets suffering the worst loss in team history, Jose Altuve landing on the DL for the first time in his career, the Astros trading for Roberto Asuna and his DV history, Matt Holliday signing a minor league deal with his team of old in the Rockies, MLB tweeting into hot water and a haboob wreaking havoc in Arizona.
This week’s Starting Nine tips its cap to NFL training camps with nine players with football film names, and then the Baldwin Scale takes center stage in Around the Horn!
Episode 74 wraps with Extra Innings and a look outside the world of baseball, featuring 10-year-old Clark Kent (for reals) beating a swimming record set by Michael Phelps 23 years ago, Blake Griffin being ordered to pay $258,000 per month in child support, ALF getting a reboot and Patrick Dempsey warning folks about an online scam featuring Fake Patrick Dempsey.
