EP-21: Making The Worst Of A Bad Situation
Listen now
Description
Leave it to baseball to make a global pandemic even worse. While sports leagues around the world are attempting to make the best of a really bad situation, MLB and the MLBPA are turning America’s Pastime into something of a sideshow. Richard and Donnovan slide head-first into the conversation with long-time MLB reporter Shi Davidi. He explains exactly why the two sides can’t agree on much of anything, including a modified schedule and return-to-play plan, and discusses the potential impact of all this on free agency and what the game will look like when it does eventually return. COVID-19 Resources: (1) The New York Times: The Daily (2) Pocket: Should You Fly Yet? This episode is scripted, produced and sound designed by Amil Delic, and hosted by Donnovan Bennett and Richard Deitsch. Archival support by Adrian Cheddie and production assistance by Dan Lorimer.
