An Overdue Retirement

1–2 minutes

Bobby and Alex talk a bit of transactional news coming out of Oakland, and highlight Brandon Moss’s comments about the slow offseason and the responsibility the players need to shoulder. They throw out a few early dark horse MVP picks, and review the good-but-not-applause-worthy decision by the Cleveland Indians to FI-NAL-LY get rid of the abhorrent Chief Wahoo logo (next up: the team name!). Finally, they look at a couple recent developments in the Pace Of Play Saga, and talk about Rob Manfred’s record as baseball’s commissioner.
