Show Notes

The ascent of National League starting All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes is unprecedented in modern times, but teams are already for the next insta-star. That change in mentality was on display at the MLB Draft as teams showed a marked preference for MLB-ready talent. Front Office Sports newsletter co-author Eric Fisher joins the show to explain that phenomenon, the rising stature of the Home-Run Derby, and Juan Soto’s next contract.


Plus, Ligue 1 may have narrowly avoided a crisis, a minor league team is relocating after seven decades, and Spain had one of its best sporting days in history.
