- The recent news of the divide in the MLBPA (2:15)
- The release of J.D. Davis and its impact on the MLBPA situation (8:45)
- Recent collective bargaining agreement history and its relation to current MLBPA strife (11:30)

- Padres acquire Dylan Cease from the White Sox (23:15)
Plus, we answer your questions, including…
- Will the Blue Jays make a run at Juan Soto when he hits free agency next year? (33:35)
- I don’t understand some of the outfielder signings this offseason. How does Hunter Renfroe command $6.5MM when Adam Duvall only gets $3MM? Why would the Twins trade for Manuel Margot when they could have just re-signed Michael A. Taylor? Is there a logical explanation? Or did the Twins and Royals front offices just screw up? (39:45)
- Do you think that Emmanuel Clase could be traded at the deadline if the Guardians out of it? If so, what do you think he’d fetch at full strength? (43:00)
