EPISODE 88 — This week, MLB announced a new rule change for the 2017 season. Is this the first of many rule changes to come down from Commissioner Rob Manfred that will change the game of baseball for good? We discuss the pros and cons of this rule change and ponder if there really is a problem with MLB considering the fans they are attracting and the amount of money they are bringing in every year. The New York Mets look to have their rotation back and healthy for their third consecutive trip to the postseason. Can they challenge the defending champion Chicago Cubs? We also look at the Dellin Betances arbitration case and look at who is to blame for the mess it has created. We quickly touch on the WBC and wonder why more American superstars continue to sit out the tournament. Finally, we take a look at the NBA All-Star Weekend and what needs to change to make it watchable. We also look at some potential trades and give our opinion on the Boogie Cousins trade to New Orleans and other potential trade deadline deals.
