Send us Fan Mail The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and as usual, somebody cooked… and somebody definitely burned the kitchen down. 😂 We’re breaking down all the biggest trades, surprises, questionable decisions, and teams that decided it was time to go all-in.

Send us Fan Mail Bit of a different Roundup this week, as Cal flies solo! Whilst fans of the Dodgers, Brewers, Rays and other playoff hopefuls are loving the endless summer of the regular baseball season, the same can't be said for all 30 fanbases... For a team like the San Francisco Giants or the New York Mets, the deadline is where the season officially ends as front offices trade away the players that had been shining for them. Whilst this offers the chance of renewal and rebirth through the chance given to prospects, its also a sobering reminder of how the season has gone and the few shining lights that fans were enjoying, are shipped off to other teams. So join Cal as he discusses what its like to be a fan of a team that sells at the deadline and gives a new meaning to the phrase - "Dog Days of Summer"! Support the show

Send us Fan Mail The All-Star game is almost upon us, a chance for baseball fans to take a step back from the grind of supporting their team and come together to celebrate the best players in MLB...or so we thought? The past couple of years has seen a rise in undeserved players making it in with a chance of getting to the ASG through the dreaded Fan Vote! Last year Ronald Acuna Jr started the game despite having only played a month due to injury and I'm afraid it's only got worse this year! Alejandro Kirk, Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Teoscar Hernandez are merely just some of the players that have reached Phase 2 of voting - despite all of these guys either having been injured or just plain bad this year! The All-Star selection needs a rethink and who better than to help plan it that the BDB team!

Send us Fan Mail Gaz has been a baseball fan for 4 seasons now and still doesn't understand what makes a good baseball rivalry.....but hopefully this episode can help! The Crosstown Classic is the name given to the series between the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox but despite the close proximity between the teams, may not be one of the best rivalries in baseball! What makes the Crosstown Classic so good? Find out on this episode! The 2024 Chicago White Sox were historically the worst team in modern day baseball, finishing with a record of 41-121. But so far in 2026 its been a completely different story! They are currently 2nd in the AL Central and have a winning record as we approach the halfway point of the season! Murakami-mania, top prospects making an impact and good vibes appear to be driving this team to a potential wildcard appearance this year - so what exactly is making the White Sox tick? Joining us from the Sox on 35th Podcast is Carson Kass, lifetime White Sox fan and all round great guy!
