The Luis Arraez Farewell Tour

Sigh, alas it must be so. Our resigned hosts react to the series win against the Brewers: a dominant game one, a game two that shall not be mentioned, and a head smacking game three. Then, for the third to last time, they discuss the trade deadline asking: should the Giants scratch Robbie Ray event without a trade? Given the Casey Schmitt injury, should they keep Arraez after all? And who would you be most surprised to see traded?

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Death & Taxes while Matthew is drinking Squonk's Tears. Recipes below.
