He offers his best Zack Greinke stories, his memories of Tony Plush and Game 5 of the NLDS and why he thinks about that team as much as the 2009 Yankees team, with which he won a World Series ring.

This can't be it, can it, even with the number of new additions? That gaping hole at third base and the huge disparity between last year and this year's payroll are noticeable.

Tom discusses what might be next for Ryan Braun in 2020 and beyond, the outfield glut created by the addition of Garcia, the rotation as it stands and what he'd tell a panicked Brewers fan worried that the Brewers aren't pursuing bigger fish.
