Craig Elsten and Chris Reed get together and discuss:

• AJ Preller again avoiding arbitration with all of his players, and the possible positive knock-on effects
• The signing of international #1 prospect Ethan Salas
• (Craig Stammen)

Then, the guys look at next year's contracts and ask two questions:

• Who MUST the Padres re-sign out of their crop of impending free agents, and
• Can SD put together enough expiring contracts to really pursue Shohei Ohtani?
  
  Lastly, the guys go through some simple childhood fandom questions to learn more about each others' baseball upbringing.
