Barry Bonds and the endless wait for Cooperstown

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back with a Jeff Kent Hall of Fame episode… that quickly becomes a Barry Bonds episode. Kent is officially Cooperstown-bound, but the real story is the Hall of Fame’s increasingly calculated effort to keep out Bonds, Clemens, and any suspected steroid user.Connor argues there’s a way to honor the truth of baseball history without pretending the steroid era didn’t happen, and the Hall’s current strategy is the opposite of honesty.Once the soapbox gets put away, Connor and Kerry dig into what actually happens at the Winter Meetings, the Giants’ search for pitching, Buster Posey’s carefully vague updates, and the bizarre reality that the Giants managed to get nothing for Marco Luciano.On today’s postcard:— The Hall of Fame's quiet war on Bonds, Clemens, etc (7:46)— What actually happens at the winter meetings (21:40)— What's the plan for Buster Posey and the Giants?
