From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Our instincts were keen with Bradfo sitting down with the eventual All-Star Game MVP of the contest before he hit his three straight homers in the swing-off. That, of course, would be Kyle Schwarber. The Phillies slugger chats with Bradfo about how far he has come, and how he has viewed contract years in the past and how he is looking at this one. There are also conversations with two other guys who have lived the contract year life - Pete Alonso and Robbie Ray. It is some great discussion about a very timely topic.
