Shohei Ohtani Gambling Saga Returns, Hall Of Fame Ceremony | Feat. Otto Lopez | EP. #449

Episode 449: The second half of the baseball season kicks off with a bang. Marquee matchups littered the weekend slate, including Yankees vs. Phillies, Dodgers vs. Mets, and Braves vs. Orioles. The guys talk about them all in their rapid weekend series recaps.

Shohei Ohtani’s gambling scandal is the story that will not die. ESPN is releasing a brand-new 30 for 30 podcast on the Ohtani gambling scandal. The guys react to what could be a sport-altering story and imagine what the baseball world would look like if the worst-case scenario were true for the greatest baseball player of the modern era.

All-Star Otto Lopez joins the show in an interview that Jared says will leave you loving the Marlins shortstop. He ranks his top Dominican players of all time, talks about trade rumors surrounding his name, and discusses the passion he plays with on the field.

Lastly, the guys talk about the Hall of Fame ceremony and how poorly MLB schedules the day for the newest inductees.
