Eric Karabell of ESPN joins Keith on this episode of The Athletic Baseball Show. The old friends and former colleagues make their way through the MLB headlines, discussing the Phillies' woes, the Max Scherzer/Trea Turner trade, and the strong job the Cubs did selling at the deadline.
They also get into the fledgling rebuild in Baltimore, the Brewers staying power beyond the 2021 season, elements of 1980s baseball they'd like to see make a comeback, and the beauty of Shohei Ohtani's game
Finally, they lament the lack of meaningful races across the league, and laud the Giants for going for it.
