Mike Silva breaks down the Dodgers' blockbuster acquisition of Tarik Skubal and explains why Los Angeles isn't bad for baseball—they're setting the standard every organization should aspire to reach. As the Dodgers continue what could become one of the greatest sustained runs in baseball history, Mike examines why the Mets have fallen on the wrong side of that divide. He also evaluates the Mets' return for Freddy Peralta and discusses whether this trade deadline revealed exactly what David Stearns values most when building for the future.
