Summary
Mike and Rico kick off today's show with a insane stat that paints Javier Báez as one of if not the worst hitter in the history of Major League Baseball. They wonder how the Tigers have yet to move on to him before shifting to a conversation on if ticket companies and teams have priced the average fan out of coming to these events. This leads them into a discussion on the Tigers' announcement that they will be adding premium seats in 2025. Then, they revisit their Báez talk from earlier in the final hour.
