Ep. 57 — Alex and Bobby talk briefly about a strange NLCS Game 1 and the nomination of José Reyes for Man of the Year, discussing what this says about players’ culpability in turning a blind eye to domestic violence. Then, they (sans Bobby) bring on Sheryl Ring, a Chicago-based lawyer and writer for FanGraphs, to talk about the Dodgers’s shady practices in Latin America and how MLB teams might respond to the investigation, as well as how owners manage to get the public to side with them constantly, how sabermetrics have created hiccups in baseball’s financial system, why minor league pay should be the starting point in fixing that system, and much more. Big thanks to Sheryl for coming on! Follow her on Twitter at @ring_sheryl.
Some of Sheryl’s recent work:
A Federal Grand Jury Is Investigating Major League Baseball
The Dodgers Might Be in Actual Legal Trouble
The Weak Spot in the League’s Domestic-Violence Policy
Songs featured in this episode:
Kero Kero Bonito — “Swimming” • Frank Ocean — “Crack Rock” • Booker T. & the M.G.’s — “Green Onions”
