Thanks for your consideration. We will keep going. #Waittosee http://podcastawards.com/app/signup/ Today’s word of the day is ‘Hannibal’ as in Hannibal from the A-Team as in “I love it when a plan comes together” as in the Yankees-Red Sox was supposed to be the first game coming out of the break… and… POOF! The New York Yankees are dealing with a COVID outbreak impacting six players at the moment. The Boston Red Sox now need to get heavy testing done. Aaron Judge is in COVID protocols and was at the All-Star Game so things can get weird fast. (11:00) The Chicago Cubs fire sale has started. Joc Pederson is headed to the Atlanta Braves to try and fill a need for Ronald Acuña. What does this trade mean for Atlanta? What about the Cubs? Is Bryant, Rizzo, or Baez next? (20:43) The Minnesota Twins are offering Byron Buxton $70M. Is that too little? Is that too much? (28:55) Review: A Dangerous Son. (34:05) Tom Brady played last season with torn MCL in his knee. Why is this significant? He never told the team, violating league rules. (38:08) NPPOD. (43:45) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about fan-run media and if MLB would benefit more from partnering up with these people. Is this the future? Is this the now? Learn more about your ad choices.
