It's a Monday interview pod for you all as we have the pleasure of welcoming in a Camden yards staple in Brett Hollander (@BrettHollander) of WBAL and MASN. Brett has been covering the Orioles for a number of years and has an extensive history with the team, much of which he gets into with Eric on today's show. They also get into what to expect with this year's team after a whirlwind of a few weeks that included all that's gone on with an ownership transition, the Corbin Burnes acquisition, and a dicey opening to spring training that brought some unfortunate injury news. Thanks to everyone for listening, and we'll be back at you again very soon!

When news started to leak out in December that the Baltimore Orioles would potentially be sold to private equity billionaire David Rubenstein, the first reactions from Baltimore fans were overwhelmingly positive. The same could be said for when it became official last week, including from a statement released by Rubenstein himself. Led by the Carlyle Group co-founder, this new investment group that will helm the franchise includes heavy hitters like Mike Arougheti, Michael Bloomberg, Kurt Schmoke, and Cal Ripken Jr. With the Baltimore native Rubenstein standing above them all as the eventual "control person" of the club, we decided to take a look at his background growing up in the area we call home, his early career in law and politics, and his eventual foray into leveraged buyouts and private equity that got him to the point of being able to buy a professional sports team. This deep dive borrows from pieces throughout his life that provide color on the man who founded one of the nation's leading PE firms, became a steward of history through purchases of famous documents such as the Magna Carta, and much more.

The Jumbo Set is back for another week as the guys are still in mourning from the Ravens devastating 17-10 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. They of course open the show with another twist in the knife of that wound that was Mike Macdonald heading to the Emerald City as Pete Carroll's successor for the Seattle Seahawks. The guys get into the move for Mike Mac, their thoughts on how the Ravens handled letting him get out the door, and much more. The guys close out the show by diving into Sunday's loss in further detail, including their thoughts on playcalling, officiating, specific performances, and overall narratives including windows and where the Ravens go from here. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll talk to you all again very soon.

In a move that had been speculated about after initial reporting a few months back, Baltimore Orioles owner John Angelos has reportedly agreed to sell the club to Carlyle Group's David Rubenstein, as well as Mike Arougheti of Ares Management Corp. Per Puck News' John Ourand, the Baltimore native Rubenstein will serve as what MLB refers to as the "control person," effectively majority owner. Without much more than that to go off of, Jake and RDT hop into the studio to give their live reactions to this news, including all it could mean for a young ascending ballclub that could use an infusion of cash, and some stability at the top of the organization. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back with more on this (and a lot of other stuff) very soon.
