- Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers makes remarks about his former interpreter and the gambling investigation (1:20)
- The inner strife of the MLBPA seems to be fizzling out (14:35)
- We are discussing J.D. Martinez signing with the Mets when we are interrupted by… (18:30)
- Live breaking news of Jordan Montgomery agreeing to a deal with the Diamondbacks (20:25)

- Rockies sign Ezequiel Tovar to an extension (45:10)
Plus, we answer your questions, including…
- Luis García Jr, Lance McCullers Jr, and Kendall Graveman of the Astros are likely out, at the very least, until mid-June. How come none of these guys are on the 60-day injured list? Do you seen the Astros moving them there and if so, when? (49:15)
- Do you think it’s possible that the league begins to follow the Angels and Rangers footsteps and call up recent draft picks as soon as they show any signs of potential? Also, do you think it is at all possible that teams start to call up teenagers? (52:25)
