On today’s GM Territory, Jim Bowden and Trey Bowden break down one of the most memorable MLB debuts of the season as Joshua Baez makes history for the St. Louis Cardinals. Why did it take the Cardinals so long to call him up — and what can we expect from Baez moving forward?

Plus, the Yankees could be getting two huge pieces back soon with Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger nearing their returns. What does a healthier Yankees lineup look like down the stretch, and how much does it change their outlook?

We also dive into:

⚾ CJ Abrams moving from shortstop to second base — why Washington is making the change and what it could mean for his future.

⚾ Colton Emerson’s injury situation — and the questions surrounding how truthful he was about what happened.

⚾ The Giants hosting the 2028 MLB All-Star Game — and the fascinating connection between the Midsummer Classic and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Jim and Trey break down all of it on another packed episode of GM Territory, part of the Foul Territory Network.
