    • Paul Skenes is the first player to ever pitch in the MLB All-Star Game a year after being drafted.
    • The pitcher’s unprecedented ascent marks a change in MLB teams’ shifting approach to roster-building.
    Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports

    The ascent of National League starting All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes is unprecedented in modern times, but teams are already for the next insta-star. That change in mentality was on display at the MLB draft as teams showed a marked preference for MLB-ready talent. Front Office Sports newsletter writer Eric Fisher joins the show to explain that phenomenon, the rising stature of the Home Run Derby, and Juan Soto’s next contract.

    Plus, Ligue 1 may have narrowly avoided a crisis, a minor league team is relocating after seven decades, and Spain had one of its best sporting days in history.
