AL West is cray, unanswered Ohtani q's, NL MVP race is real, why it's time for the Twins & bad looks for owners named John

The Twins should be feared come playoff time! History be damned - Ken explains why this is the year for a better postseason showing in the Twin Cities.

Shohei Ohtani has a torn UCL and is still playing. The two-way superstar is baseball's "sphinx" and the longer Ohtani keeps quiet, the longer the unanswered questions about his recovery and free agency linger.

Ken starts with the Mariners surging ahead in the AL West and how it is impacting the Wild Card standings. Is the AL West the best?

This just in: Ronald Acuña Jr.'s grip on the NL MVP race is slipping. Mookie Betts put on a show in Boston, and given his excellence at three positions in the field, Ken explains why this week's Dude is in a coin-flip competition for MVP.

Owners named John had a rough week flapping their gums. John Angelos earned Dork status worried about the Orioles financials. Not to be outdone, John Fisher conveyed the Athletics will have a higher payroll once they head to Vegas. Sure. Right.

Grillin' Ken answers your questions, including if the Nats rebuild is ahead of schedule and if the Rays team building model is flawed given the lack of ultimate postseason success.
