Summary

Today's word of the day is 'maladminister' as in Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle took to Twitter to air out what he felt was wrong about how MLB was handling the negotiations so publicly. He said he wanted do this to protect players futures, but I wonder why those same players gave up so quickly on the Amateur Draft (0:06)? Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein says he needs to be better as an executive when it comes to hiring more diverse people (11:03). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me for my thoughts on MLB umpire Angel Hernandez. He has been accused of eavesdropping into a phone call investigation (18:50). Review - Seberg (28:49). Shaquille O'neal joined the New Orleans Saints team after Drew Brees comments and told the team to stay united and not to be divided by the media. Well, I have some things to say about that (32:42). MLBeard Challenge Day 86: Know Your Rights Camp. Well, another day, another rumor about a different person who is going to buy the New York Mets (38:36). First it was ARod/JLo and now it's Josh Harris (owner of the Sixers)... here's why that won't happen either. #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
