Episode 18 — King Felix, the worst teams, and the Rays




Back of the Bullpen Podcast show

Summary: In which Matt and Jason discuss Felix Hernandez’s massive contract extension, which teams are likely to be the worst in each league, and whether moving the Rays to New York would make any sense. Also discussed: how many Marlins relievers we’ve heard of before; R.J. Anderson’s shocking youth; how much Jesus Montero’s pitch-framing will cost Felix Hernandez; whether it’s even legal to trade a pitcher named “Bud” out of Houston. Not discussed: how mean it would be to take the Rays away from their fans. Advertisers involve a new Mazda and a cat book. What we did this week includes an aquarium and horse-racing.
