Survivor: South Pacific's Albert Destrade Talks Sports Movie Bracket, MLB Trade Deadline Winners and Losers, Injuries, Labor Negotiations, NL MVP Race and More

Former Survivor: South Pacific contestant and host of the podcast, It's Not Polite to Ask with Albert Destrade, Albert Destrade returns to the Jack Vita Show for his fourth appearance to talk sports movies and baseball.

 

Albert and Jack discuss the latest surrounding the Cubs' rebuilding process, including some negative feelings from Anthony Rizzo and positive feelings from Kris Bryant, as well as an assessment of the return the Cubs received from their trades. Albert's a diehard Atlanta Braves fan; he and Jack get to talking about the Braves' flurry of moves prior to last week's deadline, and what the club's chances are now just 2.5 games out of first place in the NL East. Can the Braves heat up at the right time and steal their fourth-straight division title? Albert and Jack also take a look at the AL East, after the Rays swept the Red Sox over the weekend; the BoSox have now lost five straight. Which club, aside from the Rays would Albert and Jack buy stock in? Later, they talk NL MVP race, the sport's biggest stars getting injured, and what this winter's labor talks might entail. Should MLB expand the postseason field, or keep it as is, and how does that topic connect to last week's exciting trade deadline? All this, and plenty more!
