About this episode
This episode discusses Kevin McGonigle's contract extension, the Padres' record sale, and pays tribute to Garrett Anderson.
On this week's episode, we discuss Kevin McGonigle's eight-year, $150 million extension, what it means for the Tigers, and if it will impact prospects continuing to sign long-term deals this season. From there, we discuss the Padres sale for a record $3.9 billion to Chelsea owner José E. Feliciano, and the optics of a small-market team being sold for that much money with a lockout looming. To wrap up, we pay tribute to Angels legend Garrett Anderson, who passed away of a heart attack at 53 years old this week.
