First and foremost, Ichiro is back in Seattle! Moose is back in KC! CarGo is back in Colorado!
Episode 58 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast — the Jonathan Papelbon episode — kicks off with hosts Jed Rigney and Jon Sumple discussing rumors of a new reality show, Rocket Man and The Human Reject (aka, Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump) before jumping into this week’s Headlines. Apparently you can come home, as Ichiro Suzuki, Mike Moustakas and Carlos Gonzalez (reportedly) are all headed back from whence they came. Also in the news, the Cardinals signed NL ROY runnerup, Paul DeJong, to a six-year deal, Aaron Judge says he’s one and done with the Home Run Derby, the Rays are losing the arms race with a second TJS in the works this spring, the D-backs are bringing back the bullpen cart (and Jed wants it to be stylin’ — and he wants drones, too), the Rangers agree to terms with Cuban sensation Julio Pablo Martinez, MLB wants air-conditioned balls, the new tax law could impact MLB player trades, the MLBPA spring training camp for the unsigned ends, Cubs dropped from lawsuit by suing fan who was blinded by a foul ball, and MLB is now, kinda, connected to gambling — Pete Rose, are you listening?
This week’s Starting Nine is in honor of National Cereal Day, with nine players with cereal-sounding names. Around the Horn only makes it half way around with a review of 15 teams and the players who have the best shot of winning some hardware at the end of the year.
Show wraps with the one and only Extra Innings, and a look outside the world of baseball. There’s Peyton Manning selling a boatload of his Papa John’s Pizza shops just days before the NFL switched allegiance to Pizza Hut (Martha Stewart’s on the line for you Peyton … Peyton?), Stormy Daniels sues The Human Reject, err, Donald Trump over a lack of signatures on their supposed hush agreement, The Bachelor finale is apparently a big deal in the world to some folks who need to get their priorities straight, and China’s 9.5 ton space lab is hurtling toward Earth.
