Description

Fox's Postseason broadcasts have featured in-game player interviews form the dugout. Ken has conducted many of them and explains how they came about and why he's not intruding on the players. Then in the mailbag:
-Shouldn't the Angels blow it up and trade Ohtani/Trout?
-Are sons of players less likely to sign pre-arb extensions?
-Is the value of trade deadline acquisitions overrated?
-Is Rob Thomson eligible for Manager of the Year?
-What's wrong with the randomness of the playoffs?
-Could teams that receive byes play each other to stay fresh?

Those questions and more! To be a part of next week's episode call the voicemail at 646-543-7072 or email tabaseballshow@gmail.com.
