Podcast: Deadline daze

July 27th, 2022

With the two biggest prospect events of every summer in the rearview mirror with the Futures Game and the Draft, it's time to look ahead at what's next. On the latest MLB Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis and Jason Ratliff discuss the impending deadlines. First up, the Aug. 2 Trade Deadline: the gang contemplates packages for Juan Soto and which contenders have the most prospect ammunition to swing deals.

Then they turn to the upcoming Aug. 1 Draft signing deadline and break down the most notable bonus deals agreed upon at this point. Finally, the conversation transitions to the ramifications of the MLB & MLBPA failing to agree on the details of an International Draft by the July 25 deadline.

This week's episode closes with a listener mailbag question as well as talk of the MiLB on MLB.tv schedule and game of the week!
