FT Live - LA loves Kike Hernandez, Braves next big move, Machado's revenge, Verlander's staying, wavering Cubs/Mariners, Cardinals extend or ditch Jordan Hicks

Braves reporter Grant McAuley breaks down the dream trade for ATL and their nightmare scenarios. He also reviews the reliever trades they made this week and evaluates the rest of the division. Hint: he's bullish on Philly. Kike Hernandez is back in LA baby! We start off the show with thoughts on why it's a sweet deal for both sides but was Red Sox manager Alex Cora throwing shade at his front office for how they handled him this year?? Manny Machado wants some RESPECT and a heated debate goes down with Toddfather, Kratz & Braun on Manny's notable postgame quote about getting intentionally plunked. Also covered: Justin Verlander is not f***ing leaving (Wolf of Wall Street voice), the Cardinals pushing Jordan Hicks to sign or get out, and Stadium's Russ Dorsey hits on the latest Lance Lynn trade rumors + decisions for the Cubs and Mariners.
