The Angels Just Angel’d The Hardest They’ve Ever Angel’d, and Maddie Lee Chats the Ascending Cubs
The Angels have placed six players, including Lucas Giolito, on waivers in an attempt to dump salary now that they are out of the postseason picture. Jake and Jordan break down this embarrassing move for the franchise, and explain how it’s not only an admission of failure, but also an admission that they will probably not be able to retain Ohtani come season’s end. Then, Maddie Lee from the Chicago Sun-Times joins the show to talk about Jeimer Candelario’s arrival in Chicago, Mark Leiter Jr’s fascination with Javier Assad, and a whole bunch of other Cub-related tidbits. Finally, Jake and Jordan provide an update on the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field, and marvel at Alex Cobb’s near-no-no. Merch Link: podswag.com/baseball
