Bobby is joined by Jordan Shusterman, one half of Céspedes Family BBQ, to serve a 10-course meal on the MLB trade deadline. Then, Alex and Bobby invite on Athletic national reporter Evan Drellich to talk about how he ended up immersed in the business of baseball, what it was like covering the CBA negotiations, why the international draft failed, what’s next in the Senate committee’s investigation into MLB’s anti-trust exemption*, Rob Manfred’s effectiveness as commissioner, and more.
*Note: this episode was record prior to Manfred’s 17-page response to the committee’s inquiry, and, as such, does not cover this development.
