It’s the MLB trade deadline and people actually got traded, and the Cubs tried to cram human people into human sized holes on their roster. Andy, Sam and Kyle break down the Cubs moves and what the rest of the NL Central did.

Then, they try to figure out what the hell the Cubs were doing with their bullpen over the weekend, they say goodbye to Albert Almora, wonder if the Cubs actually have medical doctors on the staff or if they all got laid off, ponder the return of Kris Bryant, what the hell is wrong with Javy Baez, where’s Bruce Levine, what is Len Kasper’s obsession with Trevor Bauer and did Marquee forget that the trade deadline was Monday?
