Roark & Roster Moves & Return of Bichette (?), Oh My! + Bradford Davis on Yankees Downward Spiral, Mets & More!
Standing far too close for his liking to a lone burning trashcan with the word "Yankees" crudely scrawled on it is New York Daily News sports columnist and co-host of Baseball Prospectus' "Five and Dive" podcast, Bradford Davis, who joins Drew and Ol'Reliable on today's show (4:15). So...umm...Brad...what's up with the Pinstripe's meltdown? After Brad astutely describes the Yankees' turmoil, the group chats about how anyone who's anyone in the AL postseason, won't want to touch New York with a 10-and-a-half-foot pole in a three-game series (10:00). Seeing as New York is two (one and a half?) horse town, the triumvirate talk Mets baseball, including their glowing weaknesses, Jacob deGrom, improved bullpen and more (13:30). Contiguous, but still Mets related, is Marcus Stroman. Where does his future lie and will the Mets try to retain him (23:45)? Lastly, Brad spoke with Charlie Montoyo regarding Roberto Clemente Day; the Hall of Famers' lasting impact and how minorities can help create a constructive dialogue about furthering racial equality (33:00). Drew (And)rew gab over Tanner Roark being yanked early (39:30), recent roster moves and Bo Bichette's possible return (49:00), and who could forget sweet Teoscar Hernandez hitting the IL (56:00)?!
