Shohei Ohtani Injury Crisis, Looming Trade Deadline & Red Sox Series Preview

California Post's Dodgers beat writer Jack Harris and columnist Dylan Hernandez break down the escalating injury crisis surrounding Shohei Ohtani’s knee and bicep flare-ups, as the Dodgers front office refuses to place their $700 million superstar on the Injured List.

The guys analyze Andrew Friedman’s trade deadline leverage, dissect Roki Sasaki’s electric yet cramp-ridden outings, and highlight Eric Lauer’s improbable five-start win streak.

MLB.com Red Sox beat writer Ian Browne joins the show to discuss Boston’s wild flight-delayed heater and Mookie Betts’ complex legacy.

Finally, a wild episode devolves into a direct assault on ESPN’s Ohtani gambling podcast and an unhinged dispute over the show’s official prediction scoreboard.
