## Resource

Bobby and Alex discuss Noah Syndergaard’s lackluster right-wing grift, including whether or not it’s “hard” to be conservative in MLB. Then, they acknowledge that MLB and the MLBPA met for their first official bargaining session ahead of the expiration of the current MLB CBA, discussing whether there’s anything that can be gleaned from the tone and tenor of bargaining this early in the process. Next, they assess the legacies of two huge figures in the baseball world who passed away over the last few weeks: Ted Turner, the larger-than-life owner of the Atlanta Braves, and John Sterling, the iconic Yankees radio broadcaster. Finally, they chat about the idea of a “Wokes” vs. “Chuds” All-Star Game, and whether it would actually be way closer than one might first assume.
