In the third hour of the show, the guys welcome on ESPN Senior MLB Writer Tim Kurkjian - who shares a cool story about Orioles phenom Jackson Holliday from when he was on the beat covering his dad, Matt Holliday. 

Moke Hamilton of BasketballNews.com also joins the show. 

ESPN Senior MLB Writer Tim Kurkjian joins the show to talk about covering Jackson Holliday as a youngster and how he may fit in that Orioles lineup. 

In Hour 1 of "Inside Access" - Jason, Ken and Tim discuss the possibility of Jackson Holldiay and Gunnar Henderson being back-to-back Rookies of the Year in MLB. 

Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Banner stops by. 

MLB Network Insider Jon Morosi joins Ken Weinman, Jason La Canfora, and Tim Barbalace to talk about Jackson Holliday's rise through the Orioles minor league system, and when a trade for a pitcher might come from Mike Elias. 

Foul Territory's Scott Braun joins the guys to talk about his spring training expectations of the Orioles and the Birds' top prospect, Jackson Holliday. 

Sara and Shelly are joined by the Director of Podcasts at Pitcher List, Adam Howe to recap the GLARF draft through a series of debatable moments, moves and strategies in the episode.

Discussions:

Pitcher Run in the 4th Round: When there is a run do you change your strategy or stay the course? Is Tarik Skubal an SP1 and should you pivot if you're not in love with one of your earliest picks?

We've all been sniped and this time it was Adam Howe in the 13th round with Christopher Morel, leading Sara to take Tommy Edman and then snipe him right back with Nolan Gorman. How  do you react to players you love going right ahead of you with a fast clock?

Paul Skenes has thrown 6.2 innings of minor league ball and while the Pirates seem to be accelerating his development is he really a 17th round pick? How long can you stash him? Wouldn't you rather have Nestor Cortes instead?

Catcher strategy in two catcher leagues: Do you need two studs? If you find yourself somewhere after Alejandro Kirk and Shea Langeliers can late round darts on guys like Yan Gomes and Iván Herrera make up the gap?

Drafting prospects in the middle rounds Jackson Chourio went 12.12. Wyatt Langford went 13.15 and Jackson Holliday went 14.5. Are you drafting prospects with all that major league talent still on the board?

Closers are like catchers, do you need two studs and if you don't have them, how do you make it up later? Is Adbert Alzolay a stud? How secure does anyone feel about José Alvarado in the 12th round given the way the Phillies mix and match at the end of games?

How much does ADP influence a draft in the early rounds and should it?

Love it or leave it? We wrap up with the baseball news we're most into or out on each week.

Jenny Cavnar will be the A’s primary play-by-play announcer. First woman in MLB history to serve as a club’s primary, regular play-by-play voice.

Thrilled to see players like Vlad Guerrero Jr  winning their arbitration cases, but I’m over the whole process and bad blood it causes

Many More

We come away from a Bowie Baysox game with stars in our eyes for Jackson Holliday’s bat and water repellant gear in the form of giveaway Hawaiian shirts. Pottymouth catches us up with Nats BF CJ Abrams, and the surge of the other side of that trade, Juan Soto. Triston Casas homers twice off of Max and Cal Raleigh contributes to a SEA win rivaling the Taylor Swift concert across the street for excitement. Jarred kicks a water cooler and it ends exactly as badly as you’d think. We crosstrain with Messi’s debut and the departure of the Commander’s messy ownership, with beer. Those LSU boys continue to make draft history a week later. The ATL Hammers become the first publicly traded MLB franchise (does that open up an opportunity to  influence a name change?), and we prep you for that other kind of trade as the deadline approaches next Tuesday. It’s Women in Baseball Week and we celebrate the Twins and Philly Girls  Baseball participating in style as well as Stella Weaver, pitching in the Little League regionals. We’re already considering a return trip to  Miami, for next February’s Serie del Caribe. Last chance to donate to Proud to Be in Baseball in honor of our 300th episode!

The boys kick off this week's show by rehashing Juan Soto's rejection of a 15 yr, $440 million contract offering by the Nationals. This more than certainly puts him on the trade market now. The boys explain where the market's at and what trades would make sense for the Nats phenom. What a three-day All-Star spectacular it was! The league kicked things off with the MLB draft on Sunday, then Home Run Derby on Monday and ended things with the All-Star game on Tuesday. The boys breakdown every single thing that happened. Also, Derek Jeter's documentary 'The Captain' premiered Monday after Home Run Derby. Is this the next 'Last Dance'? They round out the show with a Juan Soto-filled Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.
