Bernie chats with USA TODAY national baseball writer Gabe Lacques. Gabe weighs in on why the free agent market has stagnated in recent years with Jordan Montgomery and Blake Snell remaining unsigned. Gabe also explains why no MLB team has wanted to take a flier on Trevor Bauer.

Bernie talks about how the last thing John Mozeliak needs to do is overreact to Sonny Gray's injury and race out to sign an injury prone veteran. Bernie points out how some of the "younger" options on the market pose as many or more risk than the Cardinals' current veteran rotation.

Bernie chats with ESPN college football and soccer writer Bill Connelly. After talking about his recent European soccer trip, Bill evaluates how Mizzou prospects may fare in the NFL Draft, and why the future is still bright for the Tigers.

Bernie checks in on the Mizzou athletic director search and tries to make sense of the nonsense coming out of Columbia, Missouri.
