Buyer beware! With MLB forced to cope with Opening Day at Home, we discuss the delayed start of the baseball season and check in with Daniel Kim of DKTV out of South Korea. Daniel was in Dunedin to cover Hyun-Jin Ryu and joins to discuss the latest surrounding Ryu being stuck in the U.S. amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, how Ryu managed to put up career-best numbers last year for the Dodgers, and sheds some light on the level of celebrity Ryu enjoys back home in Korea as a superstar athlete. Plus, with Major League Baseball and the Player's Association coming to an agreement on the framework for a condensed season, we discuss how it could impact contracts like Marcus Stroman or Mookie Betts, as well as Chris Sale and Noah Syndergaard opting for Tommy John surgery during the time off.
