Episode 291: The first of many "Sign Machado" episodes

Welcome back to Amazin’ Avenue Audio, where we look to next year...already.

This week, Brian Salvatore and Allison McCague recap the trade deadline, and look at what ‘contending in 2019’ actually looks like (cough, Manny Machado, cough), lament the way the Mets have treated David Wright and Carlos Beltran, and more. (1:03)

Next up,  Steve Sypa takes a look at the minor league players of the week. (1:05:48)

Finally, Allison McCague returns to update the Nimmometer and the deGrometer, which measure the progress of - you guessed it - Brandon Nimmo and Jacob deGrom. (1:16:42)
