Will Juan Soto save this train wreck of a season? Can anyone save this season? Do we care if the Giants win the Soto sweepstakes. Our alchemists ponder these questions while Matthew drinks a spicy avocado (yikes) concoction and Ben quaffs a sweet and tart Pink Lady. Also discussed: how good is Juan Soto anyway, can the Giants improve their defense via trade, and this season is over, isn't it?

Next week Matthew will be making a Nuschler in honor of Will Clark while Ben will be making an Aperol Spritz in honor of Marina Girls.
