Nothing Personal with David Samson. Today’s word of the day is ‘accepted’ as in offered as in MLB as in qualifying offer as in $22.025 million as in record. Four players accepted the offer, which is the most ever. Shota Imanaga, Gleyber Torres, Brandon Woodruff, and Trent Grisham. Let me explain why this was done and why so many accepted. Josh Naylor is back with the Mariners. They were one win away from a World Series appearance. The MLB owners meetings have begun in New York City. This is a major one. CBA talk. Revenue disparity talk. Salary cap talk. Review: Being Eddie. Lane Kiffin has to give Ole Miss a decision by next week? Huh? Why? He has a longterm deal already! College football is crazy! NPOOD. It’s a So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! We start off on load management. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been fined $100K already. We’re only 10 games into the season! Do you think the MLB gambling scandal was actually a good thing? Will this prove that the system works? Will this discourage other players? Why did the Baltimore Orioles trade Grayson Rodriguez for Taylor Ward? Rodriguez has four more years of team control. Ward has one more year before free agency, and he’s 32 years old. The Orioles desperately need pitching. Frankie Montas has been DFA’d by the Mets. What a terrible signing. $34 million down the drain. But let’s discuss rehab and medical for injured cut players. Would an international draft actually hurt other countries more because of the posting system? How do you feel about this NFL scoring change: teams can keep the ball if they score a TD, but have to kickoff if they kick a field goal.
