About this episode
The episode discusses recent player extensions and team changes in MLB amidst a looming lockout.
On this week's episode, we take a look at the future of prospects signing extensions with a looming lockout through the lens of new deals for Konnor Griffin (rumored nine-year, $140 million with the Pirates) Cole Emerson (eight-year, $95 million with the Mariners) and Cooper Pratt (eight-year, $50.75 million with the Brewers.) From there, we discuss the Blue Jays adding Patrick Corbin, and what it means for their rotation, Ozzie Guillen's jersey retirement by the White Sox, and Trevor Bauer returning to the US with the Long Island Ducks.
