Description

The trade deadline has passed but plenty of questions remain. Ken and Tim try to explain why this deadline was so wild and then it's onto the mailbag...
-How long will Rockies fans have to wait for a contender after choosing not to be big sellers?
-Does the deadline favor big market teams?
-Why would anyone make a deal with Farhan Zaidi after he's won so many trades?
-Did the Giants get it right acquiring Kris Bryant?
-Now what for all the teams who aren't contending over the next two months?
-Was the acquisitions of Lester and Happ a waste for Cardinals?
-If the A's move to Las Vegas, will they start spending money?
All that and more! To be a part of next week's episode call the voicemail at 646-543-7072 or email tabaseballshow@gmail.com…
