Baseball is Dead

Episode 428: The Best Player On Earth 2026-06-04 16:34:00

Episode 428: Feud Friday is here! The highly anticipated return of Jared to the feud ring comes with Tyler at his side. The guys show some love to Cristopher Sánchez for his historic 50 2/3-inning scoreless streak while also taking stock of a loaded NL Cy Young race.

Only one player has both an MVP and Cy Young market on Kalshi, and his name is Shohei Ohtani. Dallas and Jay Hay marvel at the wonder of Ohtani’s two-way play. Paul Skenes and Gerrit Cole both struggle in their recent outings, with Jay Hay getting to watch his Guardians smash three home runs against the Yankees in person.

The crew reacts to MLB insider Jeff Passan’s latest article on what to expect at the trade deadline, leading them to ask: What is the cost of acquiring star left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal?
