MLB Expansion and Realignment Coming Soon?! MLB Weekend Recap

After briefly talking about Hurricane Erin in the intro (0:00), William dives into his review of Busch Stadium (1:54) after traveling there this weekend to watch the Yankees play Saturday and Sunday - and braving the heat in the process. From there, the conversation shifts to the potential MLB expansion (7:22) and realignment that Rob Manfred discussed on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. Are we in favor of expansion? Do we like the proposed divisions? Which teams might join the league?

We then move into the Yankees-Cardinals series recap (20:13), where the Yankees swept St. Louis. We cover Jose Cabellero’s much-needed pest role, Max Fried’s struggles since July, and who the team’s potential Game 1 starter should be, Aaron Boone’s strong weekend managing, Camilo Doval’s struggles, and more. After that, the Fish Files (42:51) focus on Miami’s series loss at Fenway, highlighted by a come-from-behind win on Sunday that stunned the Red Sox.

Finally, in the MLB Weekend in Review (49:44), we touch on the Aaron Judge–Cal Raleigh MVP race, Milwaukee possibly burning too much of its magic now, Kyle Tucker getting booed at Wrigley, Toronto’s balanced lineup production, the A’s’ bright future, reports of Ketel Marte being a locker room diva, Houston likely losing Josh Hader for the season, the Dodgers’ dominance over the Padres, and much more.
