In Episode 15, Emma and Jeffrey discuss Craig’s vacation and then tackle five more (mostly) baseball topics

1. Sign o’ the times: In the grand tradition of big news breaking directly after our last episode, the Astros have another scandal on their hands.

2. You’ve given me 17.7 million reasons: Will Smith found 22 million more, while Jake Odorizzi and Jose Abreu took the cash. Also, we delve into the White Sox payroll situation because it’s the hottest of hot stoves right now.

3. The Managerial Merry-Go-Round: Gabe Kapler lands on his feet in San Francisco, for some reason. Also the Pirates still don’t have a GM or Manager. Uh, remember what we said about news breaking right after we record?

4. Awards SZN: Awards SZNis Mike Trout season. Or at least Mike Trout take season. Also, Jacob deGrom season.

5. There’s no such thing as a free agency: Well, at least the Padres and Yankees seem to think so. Also, Scott Boras works on his routine for the Winter Meetings.
