No longer sitting on 7.14, the Best Podcast in Baseball join's A's-Plus Podcast for an interleague crossover episode featuring Susan Slusser, the San Francisco Chronicle's A's beat writer and California Sportswriter of the Year. BPIB host Derrick Goold, a baseball writer at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Slusser discuss the deep differences between the usual baseball trade and the trade between the Cardinals and Athletics that sent Stephen Piscotty home to the Bay Area. The two former presidents of the BBWAA also talk about the similarities between the 2019 A's and the 2019 Cardinals, whether the A's can assert themselves as Oakland's hometown team as the NFL and NBA leave town, and the legacy of Moneyball, including the Luhnow that it unleashed on the American League West. The Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
