Alex and Bobby bask in the idea of a book on “business and baseball” from Alex Rodriguez, then discuss Manny Machado’s contract extension and Peter Seidler’s perspective on on risk vs. reward, the A’s going door-to-door looking for stadium money in Las Vegas, Bob Nutting’s CBA hopes and dreams, Tony Clark shutting down the prospect of a salary cap, and Rays reliever Ryan Thompson’s tweet thread on his arbitration experience, before answering listener questions about pitch clock leeway and spring training cliches.
