This episode marks the triumphant return of Bobby to the podcast. He joins Randy and Derek to discuss the first few days of Yankees Summer Camp. We get into Gerrit Cole’s intense intrasquad performance, Clarke Schmidt, the importance of Miguel Andújar, and the Yankees overall depth. Despite the very real virus concerns, it is nice to talk about stuff on the field. We also want to send an early congratulations to Matt and his wife Steph on the birth of their new baby.

Randy and Matt team up to finally address some of the on-field topics for the upcoming 2020 season. With this season being unlike any other we’ve seen before, the podcast brothers discuss the critical role health will play in the fate of the Yankees season. We also talk about the potential ramifications of the Yankees’ lack of critical middle infield depth and what the initial 30-man roster will look like on Opening Day. There is also a brief update on Randy’s hair and an even more critical update on Derek’s recovery from his Nintendo Switch boxing injury.

Matt and Derek join Matt to discuss the latest in the ongoing saga to start the 2020 MLB season. We begin by going over the latest news including Rob Manfred’s guarantee there will be a season and the player union’s social media campaign to back the owners into a corner. Then we discuss the very strained relationship between players and owners, the modern-day role of the commissioner, and we ponder if there will be a 2020 season. Unfortunately, we can’t get beyond talk about the business of baseball. Hopefully, one day soon we can talk about the games on the field that take place in a safe environment.

Matt and Derek join Randy to ask the question on everyone’s mind: why can’t Major League Baseball figure this thing out? We discuss the latest proposal from the league to the players, which was quickly rejected. All of this raises the question if we even want baseball back this year. The episode was recorded prior to the news of the new MLBPA proposal.
