Things are getting messy in New York. Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray are joined by @brookeknowsball to break down Juan Soto’s strange return, the Mets trying to survive without Francisco Lindor, and whether the Yankees’ dominant pitching can carry a flawed offense. They also debate which last-place teams could still make a run before Brooke closes the show with a passionate case for why bunting is making a comeback—and why baseball might actually need it.
