On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Juan Soto's Home Run Derby victory. Interestingly enough, winning the Derby was easily the second most impressive thing he's done in the last few days. Lest we forget he also turned down a whopping $440 million contract extension from the Washington Nationals. Geesh! The second biggest story to come out on Monday involved the Los Angeles Lakers as it was reported that LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis all got on a call together to reiterate their dedication to one another... should the Lakers decide to actually keep Russ. Only time will tell on that one. Later, FOX Sports MLB betting analyst and FanDuel sports analytics expert Edward Egros swings by to discuss why the total number of home runs is down this season, whether or not New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge should be viewed as the best player in baseball, the likelihood that we’ll see another two-way star like Shohei Ohtani anytime soon, why he believes the Chicago White Sox have been the most surprising team through the first half of the MLB season – and not in a good way, Clayton Kershaw’s future with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and much more!
