Carlos and David wade through a busy week of news in sports.
- AAF gets Funding from Tom Dundon. What are the implications?
- Robert Kraft in trouble
- Manny Machado signs. Does this mean anything for Bryce Harper?
- Hurricanes are jerks and a full slate of news and notes.
The main topic is a breakdown of the NL Central (Starts at 31:39)
- Who has improved and where do we see the teams falling in 2019?
Lastly, the guys mention what they're looking forward to, including Dave passionately "looking forward to" the CONCACAF Championships League because... well... he already bought his ticket...
