128. Preparing for a Year Without Baseball

This is a loaded episode folks. We look at the latest negotiations between the MLB and MLBPA and how the proposed sliding salary scale is turning players off to the idea of discussing things further (à la Max Scherzer). We also chat about Trevor Bauer’s calling out of Scott Boras on Twitter claiming the agent is meddling in MLBPA affairs, and discuss whether or not Bauer will continue his M.O. of extending an invitation to meet with individuals he has publicly called out. We talk the Pensacola Blue Wahoos putting up their stadium on Airbnb as well as the baby shark design and extremely confusing math that went into the creation of the recently-revealed Nationals World Series ring. We then jump into the Q&A section of the episode, answering questions submitted by you, the listeners, covering a variety of topics including Madison Bumgarner’s incredible World Series statline, the legitimacy of a potential 2020 World Series winner, the best baseball video games of all time and more.
