Summary

Bobby Witt Jr. just got BREADED UP by the Royals to the tune of 11 years and $288.8M and you get our live reaction! We’re also reacting to the Orioles being on the come up after acquiring Corbin Burnes shortly after Peter Angelos sold the team to David Rubenstein. RDT joins the show to convey the vibe amongst Orioles fans after their best week of news in a very long time. Vladdy Jr was named MLB The Show’s next cover athlete and Dallas is answering for saying that Ronnie was all but a forgone conclusion for the cover. We also got Mookie Betts hyping up the Dodgers roster, storytime with Joe, pitching vs offense in the playoffs, discussing Mt. Rushmore plans moving forward, and we wrap up with Jayhay’s MVP Hindsight segment for the year 2009. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you next week!
