In this episode of The Baseball Insiders Podcast, hosts Robert Murray and Adam Weinrib discuss the Arizona Diamondbacks' surprising resurgence in the NL West. As they gain ground on the Dodgers, is this the most exciting race in baseball, or does the AL Central battle between the Guardians and Royals take the cake? Meanwhile, the Padres are making their own moves, and Shohei Ohtani's wrist injury could impact the race. Plus, what were the Mariners thinking when they traded away Eugenio Suarez?

The hosts also dive into Aaron Judge’s incredible season as he closes in on breaking his own home run record, now on pace for 63 dingers. Can he clinch another MVP? Lastly, with Michael A. Taylor on outright waivers, what’s next for the Pirates’ outfield? And how will Pittsburgh manage Paul Skenes with an eye on the playoffs next season?
