Summary
Alan Lee is in for Chris, and he and Rob argue whether the Washington Nationals’ decision not to fly Juan Soto on a chartered flight before the Home Run Derby was petty or proper, and debate whether or not Los Angeles of Anaheim two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani should be viewed as the favorite to repeat as American League MVP. Plus, 2x MLB All-Star Dmitri Young swings by to discuss Soto’s decision to turn down the $440 million contract offer from the Nationals, his role in the Hank Aaron Invitational, and much more!
