Summary

The Oakland A's have purchased land in Las Vegas with intent to build a new ballpark and move the franchise. Dallas Braden gives a heartfelt thank you to the die-hard A's fans who have lived and breathed with this team over the years, and talks about what this change means for him personally and professionally. Max Scherzer was ejected for having sticky stuff on his glove and will be suspended for 10 games. We're breaking down his reaction and questioning if he did anything wrong. After a brutal start to the year, Madison Bumgarner has been DFA'd by the D-backs. We talk about if overuse early on in his career has contributed to his steep decline in effectiveness as of late. We also preview the weekend series and Dallas celebrates 4/20. Enjoy!
