Summary: Baseball's new Collective Bargaining Agreement has made for some interesting changes on how teams scout/sign foreign players. To help us make any sense of this we were joined this week by Baseball America's Ben Badler. Here's what you'll get in this episode: Jay, Eric and Mike discuss the signing of foreign players and how teams will possibly handle foreign players in the future Ben Badler of Baseball America stops by to give us his thoughts on the new CBA. Brady Williams is the manager of the Bowling Green Hot Rods who recently just clinched back to back trips to the postseason. He remembers being a kid running around the clubhouse and watching his father, former MLB manager Jimy Williams, manage three different big league clubs. Akron Aeros knuckleballer Steven Wright explains how he became a knuckleballer and what made him begin to use it as an "out" pitch. Does anyone know why they call the baseball "locker room" a clubhouse? If you do, email us! Don't forget to rate and review the show on iTunes and email us at feedback@mlrpodcast.com.
