Description

Spring training is set to start on time in a couple of weeks but there are still uncertainties between the players and owners. David Kaplan, Maddie Lee, Gordon Wittenmyer, and Tim Stebbins discuss the union rejecting MLB's alternate plan for a delayed 154-game season, potential issues that still lie ahead before Opening Day on April 1, and what the relationship between the players and owners is like. Later in the podcast, the crew discusses the Cardinals' big trade for superstar Nolan Arenado. Did the Cards just become the favorite to win the NL Central?(1:40) - Players say no to the owners' proposal, so there will be a 162-game season that is scheduled to start on time(6:35) - COVID-19 is not going away during the 2021 season, so MLB may not reach 162 games anyway and will try to play as many games as they can.(11:00) - The universal DH should be here already. Owners are using it as a bargaining tool to obtain expanded playoffs. DH would benefit everyone -- teams and players.(13:40) - Why fans should be on the players' side(25:40) - Are the Cards division favorites after acquiring Nolan Arenado?
