    Usually, this is a really good show, but I just listened to a 10 minute analysis of the Wilson Contreras trade and at no point did they say who was traded for who. That would’ve been a nice way to start the analysis.

  • Good Podcast

    Guys, the A’s have Denzel Clarke at center not Butler. The only reason Butler is playing center is because Clarke is injured.
