In Chapter Two, Andrew and Craig review a busy Thanksgiving week that saw MLB teams spend over half-a-billion dollars on free agents as the CBA deadline looms.

They must, right? Or else why would a team full of talented, enthusiastic, exciting, and outspoken players hire Tony “unwritten rules” LaRussa? The 76 year old white guy called out Tatis Jrs’ grand slam, allowed that protests against racial injustice are okay as long as they are “sincere,” and claims not to have a racist bone in his body.  Yeah, we rant again.  And really, are there only three candidates qualified in the whole world of baseball for the three open managerial positions?  Way to grow the game, MLB. We have some words for the Tigers hiring of A.J. Hinch, and some Alex Cora musings.

We throw some belated appreciation Corey Seager’s way, and give Jon Lester the NCiB seal of approval for buying the first beer for each fan at a whole slew of Chicago bars if they say to put it on Jon’s tab.  It has to be Miller Lite though so we are not all in on this. Yasiel Puig, man. Just about when you win us over, an assault allegation comes to light, dating back to Dodger days. The Mets have a new owner with a big fat wallet, and we like how he’s spending it on staff and small businesses.  Let’s see what happens with free agents. 

Now that MLB’s season is over, they’ve washed their hands of any COVID testing and follow up responsibility so we may never know the result of Justing Turner’s mask-free World Series on-field celebration.  There are a wide range of predictions on what the official consequences will be -- the collateral damage is a lot of disappointment from long-time fans. In other COVID news, the powers that be are looking to next season and perhaps staggering the minor-league training and season schedule to accommodate distancing and safety protocols.  Which minor leaguers will have no say in because they DON’T HAVE A UNION. The hot stove is upon us so we catch you up on contract options, non-tendering of players, and what to watch for in free agency offers.

Our good friend, Clive Hsu, English-language CPBL commentator for Eleven Sports, joins us to talk about the Taiwan Series. Two games into the best of seven championship, Pottymouth’s Lions and Clive’s pick, the Brothers, are tied at one game each. There’s some thoughtful analysis, some predictions, and some wagering (Pottymouth offers to sing, Clive and Patti want her to get a tattoo). Don’t forget to check Pottymouth’s guide to Winter Baseball once the CPBL wraps up.

Ett ungt Atlanta Braves tar Major League Baseball och oss med storm. Vi dyker ner i dagens lag och blickar även tillbaka mot det som under nittiotalet kallades America's Team. Vi försöker ställa diagnos på ett sladdande Dodgers, hoppas att Albert Pujols får slå sin 3000:e hit hemma i Anaheim och funderar på om vi helst skulle vilja uppleva ett perfect game eller ett riktigt nära försök att slå Joe DiMaggios 56-game hitting streak. Och mycket mer såklart. Take it away.
