Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Royals GM J.J. Picollo joins Buster to discuss his traded deadline experience, how much the parity in the American League was a factor in making moves, extending Seth Lugo, adding Mike Yastrzemski, and trading Freddy Fermin to the Padres. Then, Alden Gonzalez talks about the tight AL East race, his preseason Mariners’ prediction, the Yankees trying to get Devin Williams right, and Mookie Betts figuring it out at the plate. Then, Sarah Langs on the Brewers reaching 70 wins. Later, Todd Radom shares this week’s Ballpark & Beyond, and administers the quiz.
