12-12-2019 Passed Ball Show. John opens up this portion of the program by talking about the change amongst MLB free agents and the Baseball Winter Meetings. The last couple of sessions have

seen the likes of top free agents not even sniffing their next contract due to owners' collision. The combination of team(s) needs and owners stepping up to the plate, free agency is well under way. Since the start of free agency, the Yankees have a history of getting the top pitcher when they have made it their top priority. John brings up the last ten examples of the Yankees getting the top free agent pitcher when they have made such declaration. John then talks about the impact new Hall of Famer Marvin Miller had on the game of baseball, why he was the pioneer of pioneers and what his election means for the Baseball Hall of Fame going forward. John then talks about the need for a salary floor being a priority or at the very least, a negotiating tactic, for an eventual salary cap in baseball. John then talks about some of the NFL coaches with the lowest career winning percentages and finishes off the show about an interesting fact about the Detroit Tigers winning percentage since 2000.
