And what about catcher? Is Ben Rice an option? They are hoping not. (25:20) What is the latest with the Rays new stadium? Wasn’t it a done deal? Now, it does not look like it. (44:10) Let’s talk expansion and why soccer could impact it in baseball! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
