Gambling Scandal, The State Of The Blue Jays And The Orioles' Rotation Depth

June 05, 2024 • MLB Trade Rumors

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Tucupita Marcano's lifetime ban for betting on Pirates games while he was on the team, the increased integration of gambling into the league, comments from Blue Jays' GM Ross Atkins saying that they it doesn't make sense for the team to trade Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Bo Bichette and the state of the Orioles' rotation depth after it was announced that both John Means and Tyler Wells will have elbow surgeries.

Listener question topics include the liklihood of the Brewers trading Willy Adames to recoup value before he becomes a free agent, if the number of Tommy John surgeries is rising, and whether money will be a big factor for teams at the deadline the way it was during last year's free agency.
