## Resource

There's a lot of agita swirling around about the Los Angeles Dodgers, a salary cap, competitive balance, deferred money, and more. So, this week on the show, Bobby and Alex discuss the Dodgers' offseason so far, the disproportionate backlash fans have shown it, and whether any of it has changed their opinion on the severity of next offseason's impending lockout. If you or someone you know is doing mutual aid/community organizing against ICE and you want us to boost it on the show or in our community, please email us at tippingpitchespod@gmail.com.
