On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss the early All-Star voting ballots and numbers and the often-ridiculous nature of the process, debating whether fans and media should rethink how baseball’s biggest stars earn their spots.

With trade deadline chatter heating up, the boys also rattle off the names they believe should be completely off limits in trade talks.

They then dive into Spencer Strider’s latest injury, comparing his career arc to Jack Flaherty’s and discussing how injuries have reshaped both pitchers. Is this the beginning of the end for either? And has Atlanta’s reputation for continuously developing elite pitching started to slip?

The boys also play a game of temperature checks, each selecting four teams and deciding whether their fan bases should be “Concerned,” “Panicked,” or have “No Worries” now that there’s a better picture of who these clubs truly are.

They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner, where Market Movers’ Nick Green joins the Hobby Huddle to discuss the latest hobby trends and what’s new in the Market Movers world.

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss Tarik Skubal’s return from injury, including S-Man’s visit to West Michigan's ballpark to watch the Tigers ace make his rehab start with the Whitecaps. They break down what Skubal looked like on the mound and what his return means for Detroit moving forward.

With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the boys also debate which teams should buy, sell, or stand pat, examining the biggest decisions facing contenders and pretenders across baseball.

Tired of hearing about the “Hall of Really Good,” the boys settle the debate their own way by drafting a starting squad of players who were great enough to be remembered—but not quite Hall of Fame worthy. Which roster comes out on top?

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys turn their attention to college baseball, previewing the upcoming College World Series, highlighting some of the top draft prospects set to take the field, and making their picks for who will be crowned National Champion.

They then shift gears for a vent session on AJ Hinch, debating whether the Tigers manager’s increasingly head-scratching analytical decisions could put his long-term future in Detroit into question.

Following that, the boys bring back the Forgotten Series, this time spotlighting former MLB star Shawn Green. From his rise as a five-tool talent and one of baseball’s smartest players to his success as a proud Jewish athlete and his life after baseball, the boys take a deep dive into Green’s underrated career from start to finish.
