Finding a Fix for Vladdy with Jeff Passan and Bret Boone

ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan (1:34) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to kick off the final hour of the week. They discuss the New York Mets firing Carlos Mendoza, Albert Pujols' candidacy as manager, the Jays' playoff hopes, peculiar results in the fans' All-Star Game voting, the MLBPA pushing to ban prop bets, and how the proposed five-year maximum length on contracts will impact pending free agents like Tarik Skubal. Later, former MLB All-Star and Rangers hitting coach Bret Boone stops by (28:38) to share his view of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s season, Corey Seager's preparation, how the Yankees have managed without Aaron Judge, and the state of the American League ahead of the All-Star break.
