Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Alden Gonzalez joins Buster Olney to discuss Hunter Greene’s name being floated on the trade market, the abundance of starting pitching available, the real reason the Los Angeles Dodgers would want Tarik Skubal, why MLB would love Skubal on the Dodgers, the Angels finally realizing they’re not close, and the Washington Nationals looking to extend Foster Griffin. Then, the voice of the New York Yankees Michael Kay stops by to discuss stirring his tea with the arm of his glasses, his food peculiarities, Yankees’ triage trade deadline strategy, the need for a right-handed catcher and a swing-and-miss reliever, why New York would be loathe to trade top prospect George Lombard Jr., and the Yankees’ rotation mowing down opposing hitters. Next, Sarah Langs plays The Numbers Game. Later, Buster answers your questions during Bleacher Tweets.
