This week MLB Certified agent Joshua Kusnick calls in to update us on his travels during spring training. We discuss the contracts of Lance Lynn and Mike Moustakas in the context of this strange offseason, Jeremy Jeffress, autograph hounds at spring training complexes, Takashi Saito and much more.

On a somber episode of THE Joshua Kusnick Experience, Josh and Ryan briefly discuss the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Josh lives in this community and knows people who work at the school, so he provides a unique perspective to the tragic event. In addition, we briefly discuss the current "gun issue" in America, the impressive young men and women at Stoneman Douglas HS and commit to help those affected in some fashion.

We appreciate you listening and apologize for the lack of baseball talk.

Welcome to the 25th Episode of THE Joshua Kusnick Experience!

This week our conversation begins with Josh talking about his contention Seth Lugo would not be the worst outfielder in Mets' big league camp, getting into it with an autograph dealer and his reaction to seeing his name on the front page of the USA Today. Next Josh describes the bizarre and somewhat surreal experience he had attending the MLBPA Free Agent Camp in Bradenton this week. Finally we discuss the state of free agency now that Eric Hosmer and J.D. Martinez have signed, the effect the rebuilding teams in Florida have had on the market and the new pace-of-play initiatives.
