Alex and Bobby banter about some proposed rule changes (and one real one) and about why Rob Manfred can’t sit still. Then they talk about Frank Robinson and his legacy, and answer a listener question about managers chewing players out on the field. Then they bring on Emma Baccellieri, MLB staff writer for Sports Illustrated, to talk about players using social media to air their grievances with the slow offseason, and discuss how it could impact baseball’s labor landscape moving forward. Follow Emma on Twitter here.
