James McCann is signing with the Mets, Dave Dombrowski will helm the Phillies, Lance Lynn is headed to Chicago, and, of course, Cleveland announced that it plans to change its team name (in the near future). We recap the week in baseball news (1:45), including the White Sox re-signing Adam Eaton, which leads us down a rabbit hole with Dan Hayes of The Athletic, who reported on the mysterious and downright bizarre Drake LaRoche controversy the last time Eaton donned a White Sox uniform (43:52).

Hosts: Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman

Guest: Dan Hayes and Michael Baumann
