About this listen
B.B. Abbott, executive vice president at Wasserman, joins Darragh McDonald to discuss the process of free agency from the perspective of the agent, including who makes the first call, how much bluffing goes on when talking to front offices, why he doesn't like to leak stories to the media, what industry members think of MLBTR's free-agent predictions and other media speculation, how involved players are during negotiations, the different ways that contract extensions can come together, Zack Wheeler's recovery, how data has changed the draft, and the current state of baseball as a whole.
Then Anthony Franco joins to go over the weeks news, including Dylan Cease's big contract with the Blue Jays, the Mets seemingly buying low on Devin Williams the Orioles hoping for a bounce back from Ryan Helsley, and the Red Sox acquiring Sonny Gray.
