This evening we'll talk about the greatest catcher in Rockies' history Chris Iannetta, some minor league signings of the week, the indefatigable Joe Panik, some Phillie prospects, my 9 man NL-only mock auction, is Lewis Brinson the worst hitter of our time, can the Tigers win 40 games with Ivan Nova in tow, the Braves add to the third base mix, a day for Carlos Gomez, the Pillsbury Dough Boy, and the future of Mike Yastrzemski. Hope to see you guys in the chat room at 6:30.

We'll talk about some of the arbitration payouts, a few minor league contracts, former all star RP Ryan Cook, the 26th man battle for the Phillies, deals for Hector Rondon and Steve Cishek, the Matthew Liberatore trade by the Rays and its possible fallout, and the greatest catcher in Colorado history Chris Iannetta.

This evening we'll try to talk about Mike Clevinger, the great Aristides Aquino, the DFA of Chris Iannetta by the Rockies, Chris Sale, the demotion of Tim Locastro, highest WAR for a player at his 28th birthday, Keston Hiura, the red hot Wilmer Flores, Billy Hamilton, Pete Alonso, Joey Votto, and (hopefully) a lot more.

Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich is learning from the cardinal sins he committed in 2016, when the club decided to give playing time to pointless veterans instead of seeing what they had in the likes of Tom Murphy, Raimel Tapia, etc.That atonement came in the form of the Rockies finally cutting bait with unproductive-as-hell Chris Iannetta, who--despite sucking the life out of all of us for the better part of two seasons--has a strong case for the title of best catcher in club history. It appears they'll give some playing time to Dom Nuñez, whose major league debut was a memorable one. Does he have what it takes to get it done at the highest level? We break that down a little bit.Plus, we may finally know what has been wrong with Kyle Freeland, but the Rockies are going to have to get on fixing that before 2020, which promises to be one of the most pivotal season in club history. We explain why.Prospect of the Week is back as well, and--as you've become accustomed to--we answer some of your questions to close out the episode.Visit us on Patreon and consider showing your support in the form of dollar bills, y'all.
