Mike Petriello of MLB.com joins the guys to offer his insight on All-Star festivities and the Padres' needs at the deadline. First they get into the Tatis-less Home Run Derby (1:32), before discussing the otherworldly season Shohei Ohtani is having (7:58). What are the Padres' biggest needs at the trade deadline? Mike weighs in, with some thoughts on a few names that are often brought up by the Friar Faithful (11:44). Then they shift their focus to the All-Star Game, players headed to Coors Field and Manny's snub (21:17). Where is Tatis on the list of players you'd pay to see? Mike ranks the star shortstop and projects the NL MVP race (36:29). The guys discuss the National League West and the exciting finish to the regular season that could be on the way (44:35). We wrap up by hearing from Padres reliever Pierce Johnson on Tatis' latest defensive gem, the swag chain, bullpen use and breaking balls (51:01).
