Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss the highlights of the All-Star Game, a hypothetical scenario where Evan Longoria comes out of retirement, the newly announced 2025 regular-season schedule (including Tokyo contests and a “Rivalry Weekend”), a conspiracy theory about baseball movies, players influenced by Gameday 3D, the timing of Martín Maldonado’s DFA, and the potential impact of moving the foul lines. They then bring on FanGraphs lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen to analyze the standout trends, teams, and players of the amateur draft, the demographics of amateur baseball, trading draft picks, and more.
