JJ opens with the Yankees making another major move by trading for Anthony Rizzo (00:40), the Mets not making any moves yet (7:25) and the first round of the NBA draft (9:44). Then, he chats with former MLB pitcher and current Rangers broadcaster C.J. Nitkowski about how Joey Gallo will fit with the Yankees (15:13). Next, The Ringer’s Jonathan Tjarks joins to discuss the NBA draft, how the Knicks and Nets fared, and Russell Westbrook getting traded to the Lakers (30:12). Finally, he closes it out by reacting to some listener voicemails, including whether the Yankees are making a mistake being buyers at the deadline (44:46).

We always want to hear from you! Leave JJ a message on the Listener Line at 917-382-1151.
