FT Insider & USA Today Columnist Bob Nightengale joins the show to discuss why he believes the Tigers could emerge as the biggest sellers at this year’s trade deadline following their disappointing start to the season.

He also breaks down which teams are best positioned to be aggressive buyers and weighs in on whether the White Sox, Cardinals, and Nationals are legitimate playoff contenders after surprisingly strong starts. 

(22:02) Driveline analyst Travis Sawchik joins FT to discuss Fernando Tatís Jr. finally snapping his season-long home run drought despite elite hard-hit metrics, while also examining why Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is producing career-low power numbers despite maintaining a similar swing path.

He also shares his thoughts on Jacob Misiorowski's outstanding metrics and the continued rise in velocity across today's game.

Hosts: Frazier, Pillar, Braun

Happy Monday FT fam! We're shouting out the Mariners, who have won six in a row. (Top of show)

(5:08) The Dodgers won two out of three in the NLDS rematch. The Phillies haven't been great against playoff teams this year and these next 12 games will show who they truly are. Also, Justin Wrobleski has quietly been REALLY good this year.

(10:19) Juan Soto praises "psychopath" rookie teammates in the outfield. 

(12:05) Who had a better May: Cristopher Sánchez or Jacob Misiorowski?

(14:51) White Sox rookie sensation Munetaka Murakami is diagnosed with a grade one hamstring strain. How will this impact Chicago moving forward?

(19:52) Pirates left-hander Carmen Mlodzinski was placed on the restricted list after a move to the bullpen, a decision he publicly expressed displeasure with. GM Ben Cherington addressed the situation.

(29:45) The A's placed Luis Severino on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.

(32:02) The Red promote top prospect Edwin Arroyo after Elly De La Cruz goes down with a hamstring strain. 

(33:38) We highlight Jacob deGrom and José Soriano's recent statistical success. 

(36:22) The Yankees scored 13… yes 13 runs in the 3rd inning against the A’s yesterday.

(38:05) Ronald Acuña Jr. is on a home run binge! 

(40:53) Even the ABS Challenge System isn’t perfect.

Hosts: Frazier, Pillar, Braun
