They react live to the news trickling in from various MLB insiders about which prospects are returning, and whether or not such a return was warranted for a player like Jansen. They discuss the pre-game news of Nate Pearson being traded to the Cubs - can he re-invent himself in Chicago? - and also hear from both manager John Schneider and Jansen himself on the emotions on a day like this. Plus, they discuss Kevin Gausman's terrific outing, as he allows three runs and notches eight strikeouts as he finishes off his third-ever complete game.
