Description
Today’s word of the day is ‘scratch the surface’ as in looking for a diamond in the rough as in the early stages of talent as in the Seattle Mariners signed Julio Rodriguez to a massive contract. He’s played just 109 games in his career. A rookie. A $200M deal that could reach $470M. So many clauses. So many details. This new trend is going to hurt plenty teams. Fernando Tatis? Wander Franco? Michael Harris? Ronald Acuna? Luis Roberts? (17:25) Are minor league players joining the Major league union? Maybe! What happens if this happens? What would MLB do? Contraction! (30:55) Review: Top Gun: Maverick. (34:55) Josh Hader is broken. Hader was traded to the San Diego Padres and he stinks. He has a 25.71 ERA with the Padres. What the heck happened? Remember Tyler Glasnow? Well, the Rays just signed him to a short extension before he entered free agency. He is rehabbing from TJ surgery. Why would they do this?
