Episode 143 | Manfred Lite vs Manfred Extra Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Rob Manfred continued his subtle dance of bad faith negotiating this week when he claimed he had the "framework" of a deal with Tony Clark, then owners threw a hissy fit when the union countered their proposal, all while the number of Covi-19 cases continue to spike in both states that host spring training, throwing the whole enterprise into question. We talked all about that, about Manfred's future in MLB, Garrett Mitchell's immediate future and the potential for expansion teams and realignment. Finally, we discussed our favorite non-Brewers growing up.

Episode 142 | A Cream Suit and a Pink Button Down Shirt Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

The MLBPA finally had enough of the owners stall tactics this week and just told the commissioner to tell them where and when to show up to start the season. We talked all about that, whether most owners even like baseball or if it's just an investment, and just how badly did MLB screw up back in March. Then it was onto an extended discussion of the Brewers five picks from this week's amateur draft, your obligatory European soccer question and Jaymes' favorite color.

Episode 138 | Bryan and Rad In The Morning May 12, 2020

Show notes

MLB ownership submitted an offer to the MLBPA on Monday that would force them to take a major cut in pay from their agreed upon deal in March and the players aren't having any of it and neither are Jaymes, Paul or Ryan. The guys went on to discuss how this proposal was really a stealthy way to finally impose the owners dream salary cap, how it does little to nothing practically to actually get baseball on the field and how it's likely just setting the union up to take the fall in the public's eye if no baseball is able to be played in 2020. After that, it was onto the owners decision to unilaterally impose a 5 round MLB draft this June, and the inevitable postponement of the 2021 World Baseball Classic.
