The Mo Vaughn Podcast

Mo and his son went to Game 5 of the World Series and he was absolutely loving the style of baseball he got to watch. Why is that style so important? Could it be making a HUGE comeback? And when will see baseball again? Also, the guys have a new setup!

Mo swings a bat for the first time in 23 years and lives to tell the tale! PCA is having an all-time season, the guys go through the best regular season series left, Judge's injury, and Ichiro bullies girls in Japan.

The boys are BACK as the payoff push is in full swing. The Guardians reclaim the AL Central lead, the Brewers win another division title, the Phillies face an injury and a decision, Pete Alonso gets the ultimate payback, and as Justin Verlander's career comes to a close, the guys talk about why he was so special (and it wasn't just because of what happened on the field).

The MLB trade deadline was absolutely INSANE this year and the theme was teams deciding to go for it. Mo gives his takes on the biggest moves around the league. How much did each team improve? And was the Dodgers acquisition of Skubal a league-wide conspiracy?! All that and more...

There is a TON of rumors around the trade deadline but not much action...YET. What trades makes sense? Mo breaks it down. Then Mo breaks a pack of Fleer cards form 1996 and tells some AWESOME stories about the players. Also, Will and mascots have one thing in common...scooters?

The Red Sox are red hot but does Mo think they still need to be a true contender? Karl Ravech is out at ESPN, outrage or a sign of the times? Crazy base running stories and Buy or Sell: NL Edition.

Mo dives into Jazz Chisholm's blow pop controversy and how it should be handled. The White Sox are a certain brand of annoying but they're also darn good. Mo reminisces about coming up one game short of the College World Series, and All-Star voting updates.

Mo and Will dive into the owner's proposed salary cap, talk about the divisional risers, and how important a stabilizing manager or player actually is. Also, Mo has an epic rant about how teams need to include their alumni in player development!

This week Mo does Buy or Sell with the NL, inducing the Cy Young Race, the Padres, the Reds, and more. The guys also go through some possible Tarik Skubal trade destinations. Also, Mo weighs in on "Tarps Off" in the crowd vs a new wave of crotch related celebrations.

Tarik Skubal got a new type of scope and it's being sold HARD. Mo remembers Bobby Cox and possibly the greatest generation of managers. Also, Mo plays "Buy or Sell" with some of the AL's surprising storylines.

One of the best lefties of his era, Cole Hamels joins Mo to talk about game planning vs hitters, the infamous 2008 rain delay, super pitching staffs, movies and more!

Mo and Will talk through a crazy week in the managerial world: Alex Cora was fired in Boston, then offered the job in Philly after they fired Rob Thomson. Is MLB becoming too much like the NFL? Travis Bazzana gets the call to the majors and a guy steals a home run ball from a little girl.
