Phillies Nation Podcast: All-Star break buzz and second-half predictions

Monday’s Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium offered plenty of discussion points — including, of course, No. 1 seed Kyle Schwarber coming up short in a first-round upset by Albert Pujols. Ty Daubert and Nathan Ackerman discuss Schwarber’s Derby showing, as well as a related conspiracy theory and some musings on Pete Alonso.

Speaking of the Home Run Derby and discussion points, Juan Soto had himself quite the All-Star Week. Ty and Nathan talk about the NL East slugger and Derby champion rejecting a 15-year, $440 million deal with the Washington Nationals and imagine some trade scenarios to bring Soto to Philly.
