32: Post Trade Deadline Live From Scranton

On today's pod, we discuss all things following the trade deadline. Plain and simple. We discuss how this may shake up things going forward in the East, and are pleasantly surprised at how it did little to change anything out West. The 8 out there is tricky. We also squeeze in time to play with our new soundboard...which could be terribly annoying in hindsight but hopefully we'll keep it under control.
