The Journeyman heads east to the Cincinnati Reds after last week's three-day stop in San Diego. Dan experiences his most successful year yet as a big leaguer, going from long-relief to starter. Oh, and he collects his first major league hit.

Ben and Dan get no-showed for the first time! So, we fill the gaps with extended KBO talk and a discussion on young baseball player development.

The shortest of "The Journeyman" stops takes us to the San Diego for...three days. Dan shares stories about his brief stint with the Padres including a trade, a flight to Arizona, one exhibition start and one night in a San Diego hotel.

Dan takes the loss, but registers 10 strikeouts in another quality start for the KBO's Lotte Giants. Ben totally screws up a good five minutes of the podcast, and Baseballism's Travis Chock shares stories from his years in building one of baseball's most popular clothing/culture brands.

Dan gets traded in the offseason from the Chicago Cubs to the Houston Astros, and experiences some interesting interactions with managers AJ Hinch and Joe Maddon along the way. The bigger conversation: How to learn to trust again when it seems like everyone has a thought, opinion or agenda.

Dan registers another scoreless outing in the KBO while MLB begins over in the United States. We take a week break from our normal interview format to talk about the podcast so far and explore Dan's personality outside of baseball.

Dan gets the September call-up to the Chicago Cubs, and...well...the results weren't ideal, but this bump in the road sets him up for his biggest baseball success yet.

We started this podcast because Dan Straily is a classic baseball journeyman, but he's about to get dwarfed by our newest guest, Travis Blackley. Join the journeymen as the share stories about KBO, MLB, independent league and Olympic competition.

Following his trade from the A's to the Cubs, Dan is sent to the AAA Iowa Cubs in Des Moines, Iowa - home of new food concoctions and Manny Ramirez stories.

Mina Kimes helps us understand what all the KBO attention has mean to Koreans and she takes us behind her 2016 article "The Art of Letting Go" - a study in the origin of the Korean bat-flip. Dan locks in another quality start for the Lotte Giants - allowing only four hits and no runs over seven innings pitched.
