Summary

The Los Angeles Angels are terrible. Just a bad franchise. A bad team. A bad owner. They can’t win. They can’t make the playoffs. Each year it’s the same thing! (7:40) Did the Angels save Carlos Mendoza? No. But David Stearns is still backing him! (18:40) Ronald Acuna is hurt. A hamstring. The best team in baseball has lost its start for a few weeks. (30:25) John Sterling has died. A legendary broadcaster for the New York Yankees… On the field the Yankees are thriving. Best team in the American League and they decided to do something that last season they would never. Keep Anthony Volpe in the minor leagues. (41:30) The Padres have been sold. But they haven’t? Why is that? (46:15) More MLB CBA talk! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
