Summary
White Sox closer Grant Taylor hopped on FT to discuss the unbelievable season the White Sox are having, what's clicking, and how he's adjusting to the closer role. Grant also describes which closer entrances are his favorite to watch, whether he plans on changing his own, and reflects on his time at LSU. Former big leaguer Jon Berti recently announced his retirement. He hopped on FT to break down what led to the decision, his favorite baseball memories, and what he'll miss most. Jon also shares his thoughts on what he hopes to see change in the game moving forward, as well as whether he thinks the sport needs a salary cap. Giants reliever Dylan Smith joined the show to talk about his path from being drafted by the Tigers, to getting DFA'd, to becoming a key bullpen arm in San Francisco. Smith also opens up about handling pressure as a closer, bouncing back from rough outings, and his dream ninth-inning entrance.
