We convene to talk about one of the strangest stories in baseball this year—Dave Dombrowski’s firing less than a year after leading the Red Sox to a World Series (1:20). Then, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic joins to forecast what’s to come for the Chicago Cubs, including whether Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Joe Maddon will be around much longer (21:56). Finally, Ben Lindbergh joins to discuss the Houston Astros’ historic offense, the best since the 1927 Yankees (47:46).

Hosts: Michael Baumann, Ben Lindbergh, Zach Kram
Guest: Sahadev Sharma
