Summary

12/12/23 - Hour 3 FOX Sports/Sport Illustrated MLB Insider Tom Verducci tells Rich that not only was it Shohei Ohtani’s idea to defer $680M of his $700M Dodgers contract but he wanted to defer ALL of it if he could, what the long-term implications of L.A. deferring portions of Ohtani’s, Mookie Betts’ and Freddie Freeman’s contracts will be on the team and on MLB, and how Ohtani’s signing will impact Mike Trout’s Angels future and how much money Japanese free agent Yoshinobu Yamamoto is likely to sign for. In ‘Overreaction Tuesday’ Rich weighs in on the Miami Dolphins, Jalen Hurts’ health, the Chicago Bears’ #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, Giants QB Tommy DeVito, the Packers’ and Vikings’ playoff chances, Justin Herbert’s star-crossed Chargers career, and if Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani wins a World Series ring first. Suzy Shuster joins the show and reacts to Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill returning to the field with an ankle injury after getting a stern text from his wife urging (ordering??) him to get back in the game.
