Summary

The Yamamoto rumors are running wild and we’re breaking it all down on today’s episode. We’re talking second meetings with the Mets and Yankees and reported offers of over $300M. Anthony Bowens joins the show to share his Giants fandom, whether he thought they had a legit shot at Shohei, his Giants Mt. Rushmore, and his favorite moments as a baseball fan. We’re also discussing the recent narrative that San Francisco is becoming a less attractive destination for free agents. We hit on the Glasnow trade, what is means for Kershaw, and talk about the free agent market in general. Jayhay also breaks down the 1978 MVP voting results. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you next week!
