Episode 41 (8/26/22): Final Episode of the Summer - Instant Reaction to Julio Rodriguez’s 14-year Extension With Seattle

In this episode, Joey provides an instant reaction to Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez’s 14-year extension, worth up to $450+ million and $200 million guaranteed. Joey highlights the reasons that it can be a great deal even though he has played just 108 games at the Major League level, considering paying a player early can save a team money in the long run like Ronald Acuna Jr.’s deal with Atlanta. Joey explains why he wishes the Red Sox paid Rafael Devers earlier with Acuna and Rays star Wander Franco as examples for being paid early. A note from Joey: Thank you so much to everyone that took the time to listen to my episodes over the summer! I greatly appreciate it and I’m looking forward to getting back into the radio studio at BC soon. I will keep everyone posted about the timing of my weekly show.
