To end the show, Blair is joined by MLB insider Jeff Passan (32:51) to discuss two major off-the-field stories: Shohei Ohtani and his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara being implicated in an illegal gambling investigation, and the division within the MLBPA and the future of its Executive Director Tony Clark.
