This week we discuss the bonkers and quite strange signing of Shohei Ohtani. With the crazy amount of deferred money and a couple of caveats, what do the three of us think of the whole thing? Continuing our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the landmark Messersmith/McNally ruling on December 23, 1975 and its long lasting effects on baseball.
Our Hall of Famer this week is 19th century pitcher Tim Keefe. He holds the single season record for WAR, but just how impressed were we for the totality of his career? For our parting shots we discuss Bryce Harper wanting an even further contract with the Phillies and the oft-forgotten feat of the 200 hit season. Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.
