Jayson Stark Joins the Business & Sox Minor Leaguers Paid Through June
When Scoops Fegan strikes, which we wished was more often, you know it's going to be good episode. James unveils and details news he broke earlier today; the White Sox plan to pay minor league players through June (1:30). What was the impetus for Chicago paying its fledgling professional athletes, and why aren't all clubs taking note? Tommy Boy and Jimmy welcome Hall of Fame Baseball writer and The Athletic MLB scribe extraordinaire, Jayson Stark, to the Business (9:00). The trio tackle presumptive plans to jump-start the season, and ponder baseball's standing and stature in America if there isn't a 2020 season. Are the initial reports about MLB/MLBPA sour negotiations normal practice, or is there more to read into (14:30)? Is the current player/owner battlefield a preview for 2021 and a new CBA (16:30)? Jayson gives his take on if stomaching rate stats in a shortened season is possible, and what aspect of the game will be forever altered by this phenomena (23:30)? James' three-wins, zero-loss record is put to the test another edition of 10-ty Questions (33:30).
