    Starkville | Phillies President of Baseball Ops Dave Dombrowski joins us this week in Starkville. He gives his thoughts on how the Phils are looking so far this season, is the window closing on the current roster, how he prepares for the Trade Deadline, how he likes to put together a roster, what spots can they improve the team at the deadline, what's the future of a few of their upcoming free agents and much more.


    Strange But True: Christian Yelich has one of the best days of his career last week vs the Twins, but there is a very weird aspect to his monster day.


    Trivia: Question from Zack Farber- Kyle Shwarber and Eugenio Suarez both recently joined the 300 HR club. They are now 2 of 5 active players to have 300 career home runs who have NOT won an MVP award. Can you name the other 3?
