In our baseball segment this week, we cover the World Baseball Classic, Ryan Thompson’s illuminating Twitter thread about arbitration, people begging for Thom Brennaman to get his job back, and Bob Nutting’s complaint that the CBA contained “very few things that were excellent” for the Pirates. 

We also discuss the conclusion of the investigation into White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger, who will not be suspended by the league, and Lucas Giolito’s problematic comments and subsequent apology.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
