Summary

WARNING: Today's show features a topic about suicide. If you or anyone you know are struggling please call or text 988 to speak with someone who can help! Today’s word of the day is ‘inflammation’ as in the Dodgers as in Blake Snell as in the White House as in big money as in replacements. Blake Snell said he’s been trying to tough it out through shoulder soreness but could not make it through a bullpen. First year of $182 million deal. Yikes. Except the Dodgers were all smiles at the White House, because their roster is stacked. (11:30) The Mayor of Anaheim wants the Angels to be from Anaheim. That’s what she said in a letter if the team wants to stay there with a new stadium. (18:00) Jarren Duran of the Boston Red Sox opened up about his struggles in a new documentary on Netflix. He spoke about his mental health troubles and a time where tried to take his own life. So many people and so many athletes struggle. Please call or text 988 if you need to talk. (30:15) Review: Black Bag. (34:20) The Detroit Tigers tried to fire an Assistant GM last week and he resigned before that. Why? He was sending lewd photos to female staffers. Rising star no more. (42:40) NPPOD. (47:40) Is Ted Leonsis primed to buy the Nationals? He owns the Wizards and the Capitals and he owns the local RSN. But the only way the Nationals get on his station… is if he owns them! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:35.6	Hi, my name's David.
0:46.5	We're good now here in Miami, talking about inflammation of the throat nodules with a little extra phlegm.
0:54.0	Blake Snell, Dodgers, $182 million contract. All off season, we talked about the signings the Dodgers' $182 million contract.
1:00.6	All offseason, we talked about the signings the Dodgers were making, the depth that they were acquiring, the fact that they wanted not just a starting five, they wanted a starting
1:07.1	10.
1:08.2	And the reason they wanted a starting 10 is that they knew that there were going to be
1:13.3	injuries. Why? Because they had pitchers who had never been able to be healthy. And while you can
1:20.8	dream the dream that health will come or health will stay, at the end of the day, you realize you were simply deluding yourself.
