Summary

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred tells Rich why the World Baseball Classic was a huge success despite the injuries to stars like Mets’ closer Edwin Diaz and Astros’ 2B Jose Altuve, that the new Pitch Clock rule is not set in stone and can be tinkered with during the season, how much opposition there was to banning the Shift, when we’ll see an automated strike zone in the big leagues, and what huge payroll and revenue discrepancies mean for the future of small market teams. Rich and the guys debate if the Mets have an unfair financial advantage over every other MLB team that will allow them to overbid for Shohei Ohtani’s services, and also debate if the larger “pizza box” bases will result in more stolen bases this season.
