Levi Weaver of The Athletic joins Silver and Larry to share his thoughts on the MLB All-Star Week. The discussion covers everything from the home run derby to the All-Star Game itself, and the state of the sport as a whole.

Levi shares his honest opinion on the home run derby, which was broadcast on Netflix for the first time this year. He discusses the new format, the awkwardness of the opening presentation, and how the derby itself managed to rescue the event. The conversation also touches on the draft, which was moved to the All-Star break, and the impact it has on the sport.
