It’s not often you see a major trade in early May, but the San Diego Padres struck while the iron was hot and acquired two-time batting champion Luis Arráez from the Miami Marlins last weekend.
Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman Talk about the trade made by general manager AJ Preller, the instant impact the two-time All-Star has already had on the Padres and why it’s a clear sign that the team is focused on making the postseason this year.
Also in this episode of Baseball-B-Cast RodJake and Jordan break down all of last weekend’s series, including a possible NLCS preview in which the Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Atlanta Braves thanks to Shohei Ohtani going full MVP mode, the Mariners Seattle took two of three from the Houston Astros and caused the ‘Stros to sink even further in the American League West and why Jordan is finally jumping ship for the St. Louis Cardinals after a terrible weekend against the Chicago White Sox.
The guys close the episode by wishing all-time baseball great Willie Mays a very happy 93rd birthday, remembering his remarkable hall of fame career and the lasting impact he has had on the game.
