64 - Trade Deadline Special
MLB's Trade Deadline is a scant six days away, and AJ Preller has shot his first arrow across the bow, taking booty from the Pirates. As you might expect, this was recorded before the Adam Frazier deal, but suffice to say the group chat was unanimously in support of the move despite losing the best name in baseball. Alas, we move on, and in this episode of Dad's Talking Dads, Joel, and Johnny discuss the generational greatness that is Fernando Tatis Jr, before Tony joins to take a look at potential moves to improve the team. We finish, as always, with some very helpful Fatherly Advice.
