Weekend Best Bets (feat. three 30-something old men past their prime)

It’s a special Weekend Pickoff because it’s Spoon’s 30th birthday, so the boys have a proper laugh before he heads into a big birthday bash. We swap a few of our most memorable birthdays (some good, some… regrettable), then check in on last week’s bad juju and whether it’s finally starting to turn.From there we get into Chandler Simpson, one of the most unique talents in baseball right now, and what you even do with a player like that if he keeps performing, plus how his career could realistically unfold.We tease some content coming next week, then Spoon drops his best two tips for birthday weekend.Happy birthday, Spoon.
