With the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline rapidly approaching this Monday, we're entering the final stretch as teams try to bolster their rosters and make one last postseason push. Since it's the final episode before the Baseball Bar-B-Cast Trade Deadline live show, we had to welcome ESPN Senior Baseball Reporter Jeff Passan to discuss all the potential deals that might—or might not—go down.
On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman chat with Jeff about whether Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is likely to be on the move, why he'd love to see him stay in the Motor City and whether anyone can stop the Los Angeles Dodgers from acquiring him. The guys then dive into why the San Diego Padres' asking price for closer Mason Miller is higher than anyone expected, which teams to keep an eye on before Monday's 6 p.m. ET deadline and what David Stearns might do with the New York Mets roster as they navigate a disappointing season.
Later in the show, Jake and Jordan make their weekly picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla, including the Tigers calling up top prospect Max Clark and San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader getting into a scooter accident that ended his season. They also talk about the Women's Professional Baseball League kicking off this weekend and Joel Embiid posting about baseball.
