After last night's beatdown by the Tigers, perhaps a distraction is good! On today's episode, Javier is joined by his good buddy Millard Thomas (host of Locked On Diamondbacks) for a take-palooza! In part 1, the two give their takes on the ongoing Juan Soto sage, fire off some hot takes, discuss the tragedy of the Los Angeles Angels, Manny Machado's MVP case, and more. Go Padres.
