07/28/2026 | 34 mins.
The Ticket hosts passionately debate whether the Detroit Tigers must trade star pitcher Tarik Skubal before the deadline and explore potential deals with top contenders like the Dodgers and Brewers.

FULL SHOW: Monday, July 27th
07/27/2026 | 2h 25 mins.
Valenti and Rico began the first show of the week following an abysmal weekend for the Tigers, asking whether enough is enough regarding any hope they'd have of making enough headway before the deadline to not sell. They stuck with this topic for the majority of the show but were sure to briefly mix in their reactions to Kerby Joseph's social media comments and talk about the latest on Jalen Duren's (lack of) discussion with the Pistons on a contract extension.
