Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter concerning the newest Carlos Correa-related reporting, the Giants’ signings of Michael Conforto and Taylor Rogers, the hijinks potential of dual teammates Taylor and Tyler Rogers, the ultimate outcomes of the free-agent-contract over/underneath draft, their cautious optimism concerning the Angels (28:35), the Reds’ spending constraints (39:19), homeowners complaining about Steve Cohen, the way it feels for followers when a staff’s id modifications, and Trevor Bauer’s reinstatement from the suspended checklist (55:16). Additionally: a Previous Blast from 1946 (1:10:15) and Stat Blasts (1:14:57) about probably the most distinct batters to come back to the plate in a single half-inning, probably the most Retrosheet offensive occasions by one participant in a single recreation, and (with visitor Stat Blaster Zach Kram of The Ringer) the very best and lowest staff payrolls adjusted for MLB wage inflation. (Trace: The very best shouldn’t be the 2023 Mets.) Plus a postscript!
