Listen "CCB #182: Willson Contreras is a Cardinal. This is Fine."
Episode Synopsis
Willson Contreras is a Cardinal and while Danny is still doing post-nuptial stuff Sara is joined by Kevin McCaffrey from the Away Games Pod to try and figure out how the Cubs let their best hitter go to their biggest rival on a totally reasonable deal. They also talk about the chances that Hoyer and Co. will actually use the money that ownership is very publicly saying is available to them as the market goes absolutely bananas with an 11 year/$280 million deal that enticed Xander Bogaerts to leave Boston for San Diego. After the break they look at the Cody Bellinger signing and the fact that the Cubs will basically be paying $39.5 million in 2023 to see if they can fix Bellinger's swing while the Dodgers try to do the same for Jason Heyward. They finish up with the latest scandal on the literal baseball as Dr. Meredith Wills' new research on the ball indicates there were not two, but three different balls in 2022 and you will not believe where they wound up.
