On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys dive into the latest MLB trade deadline rumors, discussing why teams like the Nationals and Athletics would even consider dangling franchise cornerstones CJ Abrams and Shea Langeliers. They also discuss Langeliers' unfortunate injury and how it may have ultimately spared A’s fans from seeing their star catcher dealt at the deadline. The boys also shift to Hollywood, reacting to the announcement of a new Lou Gehrig biopic from Richard Linklater and starring Glen Powell. They discuss why Gehrig’s story deserves to be retold and why it's important for a new generation of baseball fans to understand his impact on the game. With the trade market moving slowly, the boys become general managers for the week, creating their own MLB expansion franchises from scratch. Each chooses a home state, team name, manager, and then conducts a snake draft of second-tier players and sleepers to build a competitive roster. Which expansion club comes out on top? They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner. --------------------- This episode is brought to you by Market Movers! Want to spot the next breakout card before it explodes?
