The final weekend of spring brought the summer heat with some wild activity around the MLB on Fathers’ Day. The Boston Red Sox & Rafael Devers drama came to a conclusion Sunday as Boston shocked the baseball world and traded Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Receiving no big stars in return, might this just have been a salary dump to end the Devers/Red Sox drama? A stunned Jake and Jordan breakdown the trade and try to figure out what exactly Boston was thinking. Plus, they get into how it changes the Giants’ roster and how the only team left in The Bay might plan to use their new star.

Shohei Ohtani has been making plenty of pitching appearances, in practice, over the last few weeks while the rest of the baseball world anxiously anticipates his return to the mound. The Dodgers have been very non-committal as to when that return will be, but all of that changed Sunday night. The Dodgers announced Ohtani will make his pitching return Monday against the Padres. Jake and Jordan discuss why this move was made now, if it’s the right one and what this means for the Dodgers going forward.

There was a lot of action that happened over the weekend, including nine sweeps! The guys won’t let you down as they go Turbo Mode to the max to cover every single series from the weekend.
