Episode Details

Baseball didn’t settle its labor issues but that’s a story for another time. The game is returning, in a 60-game sprint to the postseason. Several other changes will mark the most unusual season in the game’s history, and we talk about them with Royals beat writer Lynn Worthy and Star columnist Sam Mellinger on SportsBeat KC.
