Distinctive Doc: Todd Zolecki on 'The Life of Roy Halladay' + MLB's Reduced Salary Proposal and more!

With baseball still on hiatus, we speak with Todd Zolecki, the author of 'Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay' to discuss the process of writing the book, what he learned about Doc through his years covering him, new nuggets about the trade that sent him from the Blue Jays to the Phillies, as well as the recent details around his death and how the darker side of his story are reflected in the book. Plus, we discuss the reaction to MLB's reported proposal to reduce player salaries in a condensed season, the public's tendency to side with owners after players like Blake Snell and Marcus Stroman spoke out, as well as our thoughts on the adoption of a universal DH across baseball.
