Alex and Bobby start with a nominal Bad Take Dramatic Reading (but really more of a Weird Take Dramatic Reading) about Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman. Then, they discuss the whispers that other MLB owners are starting to express frustration at the Oakland Athletics use of their revenue sharing checks, before reacting to the news that the Mets met with Harry Marino, Executive Director of Advocates For Minor Leaguers. Finally, they react to Rob Manfred’s quotes summarizing the topics of the owners’ meetings.
