🎙️ This Week on Toast Sports Baseball:

The trade deadline is creeping closer—and the chaos has officially started.

We break down the scorching-hot Blue Jays’ 8-game heater and debate whether they're legit contenders or just riding a wave in a weak AL East. Then we shift gears to the Cleveland Guardians' total collapse—losers of 10 straight—and ask: what the hell went wrong?

We react to the Astros sweeping the Dodgers in L.A. (yep, that happened) and ask the league’s favorite question: should we all be afraid of Houston again?

Then it’s the headline that shocked D.C.—Davey Martinez and Mike Rizzo are out in Washington. Turns out... sometimes it is on the coaches. We dig into the Nationals’ downfall since their World Series win and how a shrinking payroll might’ve set the stage for the purge.

Plus: we dive into the final All-Star voting results (and the snubs), run through the biggest injuries rocking contenders this week, and lay out exactly who’s buying, who’s selling, and where the biggest names might land.

And to close it all out—we settle the debate: Is the NL Central officially better than the AL East? (Spoiler: it is.)

🔥 All of that and more, right here on Toast Sports Baseball.
