Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘files’ as in those files as in email dumps as in sports as in America as in horrifying. The Epstein Files latest round of releases was full of sports figures. The New York Giants have a problem. The LA Olympics have a problem. A lot of people have problems, but will ANYTHING happen? (19:50) The WBC has some problems. Team Puerto Rico could pull out of the tournament. And it’s all because of insurance? (28:30) The Dodgers have brought load management to MLB. And we are going to see it even more this year. Blake Snell will not be ready for Opening Day. Too much mileage last season for the World Series push. (35:30) Review: Rental Family. (38:10) NPPOD. (42:15) The Minnesota Twins have fired the team president Derek Falvey. Just a short few weeks before spring training. Why? (47:00) Australian Open history was made.
