Episode 148

The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is now live! Eno Sarris and Nicholas Minnix discuss trades, trades, and more trades! MLB’s 2014 non-waiver trade deadline was heated, heavy, and dramatic. Plenty of reaction to and thoughts on the fallout of the swaps of David Price and Austin Jackson; Jon Lester and Yoenis Cespedes; John Lackey; Justin Masterson; Asdrubal Cabrera; Jarred Cosart; and a host of other deals, such as involving Martin Prado or Chris Denorfia.

As usual, don’t hesitate to tweet us or comment with fantasy questions so that we may answer them on our next episode.

You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or via the feed.

Thanks to Ian Miller, aka Teen Archer, for the intro/outro music. Approximately 99 minutes of joyous analysis.

Thanks for the quick reaction to all of today’s action, guys. Any chance you can talk about Billy Butler’s RoS prospects in the next one? Was looking back at “A Less Balanced Country Breakfast” that you guys ran in May and it looks like his recent hot streak has him back on track? Plus Hosmer is out so… 1B eligibility on the horizon!
