The 8th Inning Stretch - Episode 2: Baseball in the time of COVID
play

03/21/22 • 39 min

I'm taking a look at how COVID could seriously mess with the 2022 season PLUS: MLB's big, juicy nothing-burger of a letter about the Red Sox/Yankees sign-stealing, how Trevor Story's deal with the Red Sox could shake up the AL East (and why all that talk about him not being able to hit away from Coors Field is crazy), and whether or not the Padres are out of their minds for shopping Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers knowing Fernando Tatis Jr will be out for 3 months.
