Ep 549MLB Owners Willing To Lose Games Over CBA Negotiations

Josh and Jim were optimistic that a new CBA could be agreed upon a few days ago this week. Despite both MLB and MLBPA meeting daily, there’s little progress being made. Now, MLB is threatening that if a new CBA is not agreed upon by Monday, February 28, regular-season games will begin to be canceled. They discuss how crazy it is that MLB willing to lose millions over what seems to be slight increases in pay for MLBPA. To distract from CBA talks, they answer questions from Twitter regarding how the league will function post-lockout, pushing the young pitchers in 2022, and debate hot dogs vs. brats.

Ep 545Rob Manfred Speaks

Date: 2/10/2021After the MLB Owners meeting concluded in Orlando, commissioner Rob Manfred spoke to the media. Despite some verbal gaffes regarding if MLB teams are a wise investment, a few are cautiously optimistic an end to the lockout is on the horizon. Is it, though?

Ep 5342021 Player Review: Andrew Vaughn

The Chicago White Sox had plans to challenge Andrew Vaughn with an aggressive assignment in 2021. They just didn’t know it would be out of position for Vaughn and playing primarily in left field.
