Foul Territory

Former manager Joe Maddon joined the FT crew to talk about teams that lose in the World Series and how that hangover can be a challenge. Also, what is the manager’s role when it comes to the trade deadline?
Maddon shared his thoughts on Dalton Rushing's bad day with Ohtani, the Rafael Devers tantrum, and why pitching staffs are a lot different from when he first was managing.

He also talked about some differences between smaller and bigger markets, why the playoffs can be an equalizer, and how David Stearns has done with the Mets so far.

Fair Territory hosts Ken Rosenthal and Alanna Rizzo break down the Mets' continued collapse, what their recent moves signal ahead of the trade deadline, and why bigger changes may not be coming despite another disappointing season. (top of show)
(7:30) Ken explains why several front office leaders around baseball could find themselves on the hot seat after the deadline, including David Stearns, Craig Breslow, Dana Brown, Mike Elias, Perry Minasian, Ben Cherington, Buster Posey, and A.J. Preller.
(11:20) Grillin' Ken fields questions on how the Cardinals' front office changes will shape their trade deadline approach, how they can sell a seller strategy to fans while still sitting in a playoff spot, whether the Braves can rebound and make an early move to fortify their roster, and how the looming CBA and potential lockout could affect this year's deadline.
(19:31) Ken and Alanna crown their Dudes and Dorks of the Week. Plus, more on the Rafael Devers and Giants drama.

AJ got to meet the Pope and present him with a gift from the 2005 World Series. What a time. (top of show)
(4:11) The Cubs acquired David Peterson from the Mets, and it could work out for Chicago because Peterson gets ground balls and the Cubs infield defense is elite. Also, the Mets are a mess.
(15:20) The Phillies have defied the Win Improbability meters the last two nights and are making a real push in the NL East.

(17:09) Red Sox had some flight issues and now have to face Cy Young contender Cam Schlittler. Good luck.
(19:43) The latest MLB proposal is out, and while there’s some good things, it’s still not something the players would really consider yet. Are we making any moves toward a legit chance at a deal?
(29:58) The Braves have been dealing with injuries and struggled enough to let the Phillies back into the mix for the division. Who wins the NL East?
(31:43) What’s going on with Dalton Rushing? Some miscommunication and reactions with Shohei Ohtani are the latest for the Dodgers catcher. Kratz brings some thoughts as a former one.
(41:25) Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez claims he’s as good at gardening as pitching, but let’s be serious- he’s a way better pitcher.
(43:15) Aaron Judge’s debut jersey is expected to sell for $3M-$5M. Should every player have their own debut jersey?
(45:45) Abner Uribe finally accepted his suspension. Yes, THAT suspension.
(48:39) Condolences and well-wishes to David Samson and family after the passing of his daughter. If you'd like to contribute to a great cause please head to Kyra's Story.
