Balls In The Dirt

Nick & Hayden are back to discuss the recent trades around MLB and the Diamondbacks following the trade deadline. We also discuss the value of prospects and whether or not they are overvalued. Then we discuss the Diamondbacks and the "beanball" controversy, as well as the third base situation that predicts a call up that actually happened the next day (today!). This was recorded on 8/6/14.   Podcast Playlist: Party Supplies - "(Searching for a) Crazy Love" Tom Petty - It'll All Work Out   Thank you for listening, please rate, review, & subscribe.

Hayden and Nick discuss a few hypothetical trades that would work, or maybe wouldn't, in light of the impeding trade deadline.
