Kevin breaks down the recent developments between the MLB and MLBPA. Rob Manfred and Tony Clark met 1 on 1 and were able to get the "framework" of a deal done. The next step would be formal approval or counter offer from the players. It sounds like a deal will be done as early as this weekend.<br /><br />Kevin then talks about the ESPN Documentary "Long Gone Summer" about Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. The city of Chicago had to be electric for the entire summer of 1998. Michael Jordan and Sammy Sosa were the kings of the windy city.<br /><br />Kevin wraps up the episode talking about the Baseball-Reference and Strat-O-Matic simulations and if there are any new developments happening. He also gives an update on the KBO and CPBL and how baseball is playing out overseas. <br /><br />As always, if you enjoyed the show, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on iTunes or on any app that carries podcasts as well as on YouTube.
