Welcome Refuse to Lose Territory to the Foul Territory Network! Our latest show covers the Seattle Mariners. (top of show)
(2:51) We've seen a handful of big-time players off to slow starts like Fernando Tatis Jr., Bo Bichette and Cal Raleigh. Who is going to turn it up?
(20:00) Looks like spending more money doesn't mean you'll have success, as the Rays currently have the second-best record and the Mets are miserable.
(21:40) The Mets are calling up top prospect A.J. Ewing to try and spark the team. Who is he and will he save them?
(28:52) Carlos Correa is in good spirits after surgery, but the Astros might be cooked this season.
(31:20) Addison Barger's elbow has no structural damage so that may be a good sign. On the Eric Lauer front, it seems the Blue Jays are saying it was off the results when it came to the decision to DFA him.
(34:09) Evan Drellich reports that the league and the MLBPA are beginning labor negotiations. But are they really?
(37:03) The Braves lost Sean Murphy to the IL and are calling up Sandy León.
