In Episode 430, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about nostalgia for mid-2000s hipster rock, MST3K, and Homestar Runner, and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. Tuck Everlasting?: Kyle Tucker is traded to the Cubs in a trade that both makes sense and doesn’t make sense for both teams.
2. Trading Places: The Yankees stay active on the trade market, and the As and the Rays make a very Rays trade.
3. There is no such thing as a free agency: Mike Elias gets his starter, the Mets get some KBO players, and Carson Kelly gets the good backup catcher contract.
4. Around the Horn: MLB doesn’t publish a report, but has a report.
5. The return of the nickname game.
