The podcast we've all been waiting for! The lockout is over and players are on their way to Spring Training to get ready for an April 7th Opening Day across Major League Baseball.

Jayson and Doug dive into the new CBA on an emergency episode of Starkville. Now that the lockout is over, will frustrated fans return to the sport? How does Rob Manfred avoid a repeat next time around? What is new with this CBA? Will it help eliminate tanking? What will the expanded playoffs look like? and where will Freddie Freeman land?

Let us know how you feel about baseball right now at [email protected] and we'll read them on the next episode.
