| 0:20.9 | Welcome back to the show. It is a Tuesday on the Daily Tip. Great to have you with us. We're live across the country from 6 a.m. to 9am in the east. I'm James. She's Chelsea. Coming up very shortly, we will talk with the great buster, all in a senior major league baseball writer for ESPN. We are going to ask about Jack Caggne Leon making his major league debut tonight for the Kansas City Royals. Chelsea, I mean, your husband did play Major League Baseball. |
| 0:24.0 | Do you remember what that was like when he got the call up for the first time? |
| 0:25.7 | Oh, yeah. |
| 0:30.8 | It's such a special moment, especially for somebody like him who was not one of the super prospects, |
| 0:34.1 | because in the world of baseball, especially in minor league baseball, |
| 0:36.7 | there are these guys who are first round picks and they make like six |
| 0:37.7 | million dollars on their signing bonus. And these guys are kind of propelled through the minor leagues |
| 0:42.3 | because obviously these big league clubs have big investments in these type of guys. My husband was |

| 1:25.4 | everything we hear about Jack Caglione is that he's this physical specimen, |
| 1:29.3 | can't miss prospect. And you were saying during the break that he really forced Kansas City's |
| 1:33.9 | hand here because his performance thus far in the minors just could not be denied. |
| 1:39.5 | That's exactly right. You know, he had a great spring training and during that, we all began to speculate, |
| 1:45.7 | you know, would he make the team out of spring training? And the Royals absolutely were saying, |
