Spring Training has opened in Arizona and Florida but only for minor leaguers who aren't on 40-man rosters. Jayson is in Florida and he and Doug tell tales of happier Spring Trainings of yesteryear and explain why you never want to be on the back fields.

Then, Ken Rosenthal adds to his record setting number of visits to Starkville. This time around he brings news from the negotiating table where MLB and the players continue to make little progress getting baseball back on the field.

There's also trivia and a trip to the Doug-out for Astronomy and Spring dinners between teammates!
