Show Notes

Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci discuss the decline of middle-class players in the league and the challenges they face as the sport evolves.  How has training in the Spring changed for athletes?  We're surprised Anthony Rizzo still isn't on a team, but what does that say about how rosters are being built?  Joe stresses the importance of a balanced lineup of youth and experience. Tom reflects on 'baseball-lifers' and the impact they had on the sport that can still be seen today!
