Show Notes
How much longer are we going to wait around for Aaron Rodgers? Do the Steelers have a deadline on it? Poni’s moles indicated that the Steelers would know yesterday about Rodgers, but if they do, the secret has survived 24+ hours. With legal tampering starting on Monday, how much longer can the team afford to wait? Last year, the Steelers bowed down and waited around for Rodgers to make his decision, but how much of that had to do with Mike Tomlin? The guys wondered if the Kenneth Gainwell situation is a tell as to where the Steelers are with Rodgers. Is anyone out there pounding the table for Rodgers? It feels like it’s more of an acceptance than actually wanting Rodgers back.
Daniel Jones just got tagged for $37M by the Colts. Does that make people feel better about Aaron Rodgers? People just love a bargain.
Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt talked about the challenge players may have going from Spring Training to the World Baseball Classic, back to spring games then the regular season. He said the schedule can be wonky for someone like Paul Skenes, who is pitching for Team USA. The guys pointed out some pitch limits for guys in the WBC. Matt doesn’t think Skenes will go close to a 95-pitch limit in a game with the US. Matt thinks a deal happening could be the difference between Konnor Griffin being on the Opening Day roster and not – no deal likely means he will start in Triple A. The guys asked Matt about meeting Tony Gwynn and a loaded Padres team that was fresh off a World Series appearance. Matt said he was in awe of pretty much everything during his first spring. Matt talked about Gwynn’s masterful work at the plate and how he could have hit more home runs if he really wanted to. Matt was surprised to find out he never gave up a HR to Ken Griffey Jr. Matt had some funny stories about facing Barry Bonds early in his MLB career. We looked through some other funny Matt stats from his playing days.
