10-26-2018 Passed Ball Show- John opens up the show talking about the improvement (record wise) of the Houston Texans after a bad start. With the hiring of first time managers Rocco Baldelli and Charlie Montoyo, 30 percent of MLB managers are entering either their first or second season as a big league manager. The Mets may not be hiring a General Manager at all. Are they essentially hiring a puppet? John cannot make much of candidates if they are not given the tools to be their own boss. Is it Frank Cashen? Or Jeff Wilpon? The Rockets are willing to trade four first round picks to get Jimmy Butler from Minnesota. Very similar to the Brooklyn Nets trade for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and the draft picks they gave up there. NFL Picks.
