The Opening Drive

Greg joins the show to break down the Angels recent moves after taking Ohtani off the trade block, whether going all-in is a worthy risk for LA, the Dodgers now being completely open for business when it comes to pitching, the Cardinals therefore being a perfect pair with a potential Monty/Jack trade, why the Padres could be the wildcard that shakes up the market in an unexpected way & whether or not MLB & baseball have been better off under Rob Manfred.
