Lindsay Crosby breaks down what it could take for the Braves to acquire Tigers ace Tarik Skubal and other supposedly available pitchers at the trade deadline, using historical trade comps (David Price, Max Scherzer, José Berríos, Jordan Montgomery, Andrew Miller, Drew Pomeranz) to estimate prospect packages from Atlanta’s system. He discusses Atlanta’s urgent need for a true Game 2 playoff starter behind Chris Sale, introduces a Braves prospect composite tool for evaluating trade value, and explains how expanded playoff races may inflate prices. The episode closes with a preview of the Orioles series, noting Baltimore’s recent success driven by pitching, bullpen volatility, and underperforming hitters, plus how Atlanta can push teams toward selling.

After an ugly 8–3 loss, the Braves signaled a tougher roster approach by activating Mike Yastrzemski and releasing Kyle Farmer instead of optioning Brewer Hicklen. Lindsay Crosby argues Farmer offered little beyond emergency catching insurance, while Hicklen brings speed and defense, and notes Dominic Smith’s prolonged offensive struggles and declining usage suggest he’s next when reinforcements arrive. Ronald Acuña Jr. is expected back soon, with Hicklen the likely corresponding move. Ha-Seong Kim’s improved AAA contact raises options ranging from DFA to a salary-eating deadline trade. Sean Murphy is nearing a rehab assignment, potentially prompting a three-catcher setup with Joey Bart and Drake Baldwin. Reynaldo López’s fastball-heavy plan backfired despite a dominant slider, reinforcing the need to trade prospects for pitching before the deadline.
