In Episode 522, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about Iron Chef, the matcha edit and narrative video games and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. Clark, barred: A shake up at the MLBPA, although maybe not for the reason you’d think
2. It’s not-so-sunny in Philadelphia: Nick Castellanos is finally cut, while Bryce Harper is still irritated.
3. I wouldn’t be a Friar: A lot of new Padres signed by one extended GM
4. Around the Horn: The last few free agents are signing, and a couple trades of some note
5. A game slanted towards the one host who does a lot of the TAs
