Ken's Mailbag | Altuve does it again, missing All-Stars and lots of deadline chatter

The Windup: A show about Baseball - A podcast by The Athletic

Jose Altuve caps an electric Yankees-Astros series with ANOTHER walk-off home run. Ken Rosenthal talk about that and why so many All-Stars have chosen to skip the game this year. Then it's on to the mailbag... -What kind of rebuild are the Cubs looking at? -Could Albert Pujols hit his 700th homer in a Cardinals uniform? -Will the Astros ignore the luxury tax and make a deadline splash? -Can the Angels make the postseason? -Can the Phillies find someone to take Vince Velasquez? -With starting pitchers working less innings, will the Cy Young ever go to an opener or middle reliever? -Do the Brewers have another move in them? -How will MLB speed up pitchers? All that and more!
