from Nothing Personal with David Samson · host Le Batard & Friends, Sports, Baseball, MLB
Today’s word of the day is ‘left off’ as in not on the team as in Sha’Carri Richardson, as we all know, was disqualified from the Olympics and suspended after a failed drug test for marijuana. She was given a 30-day suspension that would keep her from running in the 100m. But wait a minute! What about the 100m relays!? She could sit through the suspension and still relay… USATF said nope, sorry… you’re being left off that team. WHAT!? (14:25) The Chicago Cubs are a disaster right now. Absolutely dumpster fire. 2 weeks ago the the Cubs were in first in the NL Central. Now? The team has lost 11 straight games and are now 9 games back of the Brewers. (21:52) How are the Chicago White Sox doing? Injury after injury after injury and the team continues to win. (29:45) Review: The Tomorrow War. (34:10) Making trades is kind of like Fight Club. You don’t talk about players you want to trade away or not trade away. Don’t do it! Rockies manager Bud Black said his All Star pitcher German Marquez won’t be traded. (41:00) The Miami Marlins reportedly offered Starling Marte a $30M deal. How real is this deal? Does this mean Marte will stay a Marlin? Let’s discuss why this was leaked.
