Welcome to GM Territory! Former MLB GM Jim Bowden and his son Trey Bowden take a swing at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline by making blockbuster mock trades they believe could actually happen.

Could the Dodgers land Tarik Skubal? Would the Phillies finally solve their outfield by acquiring Jo Adell? Is Jarren Duran the missing piece for the Padres? Jim and Trey also debate potential deals involving Matt Chapman, Joe Ryan, Sonny Gray, and Aroldis Chapman, breaking down what each front office would have to give up to get a deal done.

Drawing on Jim’s years as a Major League General Manager, the duo evaluates every trade from both sides—who says yes, who says no, which prospects are worth moving, and which blockbuster has the best chance of becoming reality before the deadline.
