Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci begin with their thoughts around the Yankees and what can be fixed with this team.  Tom offers some lineup changes that could smooth things out.  The trade deadline is approaching and Joe reveals what's happening in the front office and the clubhouse. Shohei Ohtani continues to rewrite history with his onslaught of HR's.  Does Joe think there's a special approach you should take to pitching to Ohtani? Tom points out the approach to success from golfer Scottie Scheffler and wants to find some comparables in baseball.  Plus, is there an 'AI approach' coming to baseball?
