Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

Wednesday's episode of Locked On Angels is a jam-packed one. Host Brent Maguire starts the episode off by talking about the disturbing news from The Athletic about Angels pitching coach Mickey Callaway's "lewd allegations" and the subsequent suspension. Brent then dives into the news about the trade for Alex Cobb. The remainder of the episode is a discussion Brent had with Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times about the state of the Angels club. For what it's worth, Brent and Maria had this discussion before the Callaway news so this was not touched on in their discussion. -You can follow Maria on Twitter at @maria_torres3 and her written work at the Los Angeles Times -Brent can be found on Twitter at@bmags94 and his written work can be found at Crashing the Pearly Gates -The Athletic's story about Mickey Callaway Learn more about your ad choices.
