In the second hour of tonight’s show, Matt Pauley features Tom Ackerman’s interviews with Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak, who speaks on the search for more bullpen help; and St. Louis Blues interim coach Drew Bannister who discusses his first few games behind the bench with the team. Sam Dykstra, MLB Pipeline reporter, also joins the show to discuss a new event coming to Major League Baseball: the Spring Breakout, a prospect showcase taking place March 14-17th 2024 where all 30 teams will assemble a roster of 20-25 top prospects to face off in a seven-inning exhibition game. Matt and Sam also touch on the growing interest in minor league baseball, and how ready Masyn Winn will be for his first full season. Matt wraps up the hour being joined by Hancock, Hancock, and Kelley in studio!
