On this week's episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss front offices of teams, or the lack thereof. The Braves are in their crosshairs, and they debate whether GM Alex Anthopoulos, who is the President of Baseball Operations and their General Manager, is to blame for a poor start to the season. He's been a winner every year he's been with the club, but the cracks in the foundation are starting to show. Is he to blame, or should we look elsewhere? Almost two months in now, the boys think it's time to start putting teams on radar, and others on notice. They each pick three teams that are surprising them and should get praise so far, and following that, they each pick three who have been nothing short of disappointing. Afterwards, they round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.

On this week's episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss early Rookie of the Year candidates. This class is absolutely stacked, and the boys pick early favorites and predict whose career will be the best when it's all said and done. This leads into a larger conversation about A's rookie Nick Kurtz, who was just drafted last year and is already up in the bigs to help out a crazy rebuild that could see the A's being something soon, as well as highly drafted players being pro-ready sooner than prospects of the past. It might be too soon to talk trades, but that doesn't stop the boys from taking a stab at who is on early trade blocks and what those trades would look like. Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.
