What's In the Box?

Alex and Bobby discuss Rob Manfred’s generous gift to players on Opening Day and a rest stop encounter in Delaware, then break down the news that the Lerner family is exploring a sale of the Washington Nationals, as well as the Baltimore Orioles receiving a whopping $1.2 billion in public funds from the state of Maryland. Then, they run down some takeaways from Opening Weekend, including the arrival of Steven Kwan and Hunter Greene, a downright unfair perfect game in Japan, the Rays’ attendance accounting hack, and more. Finally, they tackle listener questions about a bizarrely-made case to nationalize baseball,  the actual mechanics of nationalizing the sport, walk up songs in Washington D.C. and a big team in a small stadium.Links:Could Fans Own A Team? The Tipping Pitches playlist (thanks listener Britt for maintaining!)
