Stephen A. Smith sits down with ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan to break down everything that could shake up Major League Baseball.
Which stars could be on the move before the trade deadline? Should the Detroit Tigers cash in on Tarik Skubal for a massive haul? And could the entire MLB season soon be threatened by a labor battle?
Passan explains why a lockout appears inevitable, the growing fight over a potential salary cap, and why some inside baseball are genuinely concerned that games could be lost. Plus, Stephen A. and Passan debate the biggest potential trades, the wide-open American League race, and what’s at stake for the future of the sport.
