Description

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Paul Skenes debuting in Pittsburgh, the way the media hypes up young players and places impossible expectations on them, the new TV deal between Roku and MLB and what it means for the future of broadcast availability, the brutal WIllson Contreras injury suffered from getting hit by a swing and why pitch framing is causing catchers to get closer to the hitter's bats, and the surprisingly good return the White Sox got from the Rangers for Robbie Grossman despite him being a minor league signing this offseason. Listener question topics include who the Astros could sell if they don't turn things around after their poor start, if the Phillies would consider prospect Mick Abel a rotation surplus and trade him for a bat, and if the Tigers should sell high on Tarik Skubal.
