## Resource

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor are honored to be joined by Padres fan and North County's sitting congressman Mike Levin. They speak at the end of the episode about this year's team, the City Connects, the upcoming CBA and MLB's antitrust exemption, and end with a discussion of the HOME Team Act about franchise relocation. But first, the guys catch up on the 4-game sweep of the Rockies, the explosive offense, the fallout from Nick Pivetta's ominous injury, and more.
