This week's show was all about the money. We start the show with the breaking news that Corbin Burnes lost his arbitration case with the Brewers and will be owed $10.01M this season - the penultimate year of team control.

We also talk about the news from Governor Tony Evers proposing using part of the $7 billion state surplus in tax and federal funds toward keeping the Brewers in Milwaukee.
