Ely Sussman, Alex Contreras, Ethan Budowsky and Louis Addeo-Weiss hop on Zoom as news breaks (2:10) that Major League Baseball and the MLB Players' Association were unable to agree on updated terms for the 2021 season. As a result, Marlins pitchers and catchers will report on Feb. 17, Opening Day will be Apr. 1, the National League won't use the designated hitter, and the postseason field will include only 10 teams. This pod also covers Jordan Yamamoto being traded to the Mets for infield prospect Federico Polanco (20:00), remaining free agents who would fit well with the Fish (35:00) and exciting career moves for baseball industry veterans Michael Hill and Craig Mish (50:10). |
