Mariners fire manager after blowing AL West! Who is running the Angels? New favorite for NL ROY!?

Today’s word of the day is ‘vibe’ as in good vibes as in bad vibes as in the Seattle Mariners as in Scott Servais as in Jerry Dipoto. What went wrong for the Mariners? Pitching was elite. Batting was horrible. How did they fall apart so quickly? The Los Angeles Angels gave GM Perry Minasian a 2-year extension. The team has stunk for so many years now… why do this? Because it’s Arte’s team. NWSL signed a new CBA. No more draft. No more trades. Guaranteed deals. Major news. Review: Unstable S2. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Orioles sending Trevor Rogers down after being acquired at the deadline. NPPOD

Mailbag: new sports media deals are CRAZY! Will the owners demand more of the money pie?

#NothingPersonal #DavidSamson #MLB

It’s another mailbag! We’ll be back on Monday, but for now I’m on a mountain! Today’s show is all about the new streaming world. Subscriptions and ads are what the world has become! Someone asked me about the NBA media deal and what would happen if the NBA owners wanted a bigger peace of the pie. It’s a 50/50 split… for how long? Someone asked if Rob Manfred sees Warner Bros. Discovery needs content and MLB needs a big buyer… would he suggest this? Someone asked me about employees v. Shareholders. Loyalty was one of the employees traits, but fighting with the shareholder was hurting some business. How do you handle this? Someone asked me about the Green Bay Packers ownership and how this works.

Mailbag: What in the world is a Player to Be Named Later in a trade!?

#NothingPersonal #DavidSamson #MLB

Welcome into a mailbag episode. I’m not here, but I’m here. Someone asked me if MLB expands does that mean the ‘feeder’ systems expand too? New AAA teams? New AA? How does it work? Someone asked me about MLB regions and why MLB has picked regions that have no chance to have success. Someone asked me about PTBNL… a player to be named later. What does that mean? Is that more embarrassing than cash considerations? What is going on with the Rockies? Does the league ever give teams pressure to do more? Someone asked me about visas and Canadians and trading players to Canada!

0:00 – Intro
