Description

The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence & Grant Brisbee have a fresh cup of baseball takes waiting for you to enjoy. The guys break down the winners & losers of the Trade Deadline and how Hunter believe great bullpens are key to long playoff runs. The Dodgers made the biggest splash at the Deadline and are putting together a super team with all the talent they have. They talk about the Giants big move to get Kris Bryant and how they probably should've added another starting pitcher. The White Sox added closer Craig Kimbrel to an already impressive bullpen. Hunter talks about why a strong deep bullpen is so key to make a long playoff run and win a World Series. The Yankees add some beef to their lineup and they guys talk about where they think they will finish in the standings. They break down the top teams in the AL & NL and who would they take to make the Playoffs after the Trade Deadline. And Hunter give a special shoutout to Joey Votto.
