Special guest Mike Shildt, former Padres and Cardinals manager and current Orioles upper-level coordinator of instruction, sits down with The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich to talk about the club's shift in player development philosophy with a focus more on improving fundamentals and situation awareness. Shildt also discusses Cal Ripken Jr.'s impact on the organization and the changes that have taken place in the organization since his arrival.

On the back half of the show, Matt and The Sun's Josh Tolentino chat about the Ravens' hire of Kyle Youmans to replace longtime radio play-by-play broadcaster Gerry Sandusky as their new lead commentator in the booth. Josh had an exclusive interview with Youmans ahead of his hire and he explained the hiring process that led to the Texas native landing in Baltimore.

After the guys took a look at some of the Orioles' top potential trade targets at the deadline, The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich and Sam Cohn discuss who might be on the move if the team decides to sell come August. Hint: Adley Rutschman isn't one of them.

Later in the show, they switch gears to Ravens and run through five veterans entering their age-29 season or older who the team is going to be relying on in 2026. Can Derrick Henry still be a workhorse RB1? How much can the Ravens depend on Marlon Humphrey in the secondary?
