From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Justin Turner isn't done playing yet, having served as one of the Red Sox' best players this season. But there is no doubt Turner is being viewed as potential big league manager, a notion that hasn't escaped his current skipper Alex Cora, who has taken the DH under his wing. Host Rob Bradford talks to both Cora and Turner about how they view Turner's future after his playing days. Within the conversation, it is revealed how Cora made a point to meet with Turner, Kiké Hernandez and Kenley Jansen early in spring training to address the Astros' cheating scandal in 2017 that potentially robbed those players of a World Series title. Jansen also sits down with Bradford to offer a revealing view of that Cora-led get-together. "I just felt like I wanted to cry at that moment," the reliever said.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Both Michael Kopech and Clint Frazier were first-rounders, Kopech being selected with the 33rd overall pick in 2014, and Frazier representing the No. 5 selection the year before. Both have landed with the White Sox after experiencing more than their fair share of bumps in the road. Host Rob Bradford sits down with Kopech for a revealing discussion on his path to this point, which has the righty pitching perhaps better than ever. We then hear from Frazier, who was making his return to Yankee Stadium, a place he was supposed to be New York's next big star.
