All indications are that players were less than impressed but as we wait for the players to respond, we, at least, have something to talk about.On this week's podcast, host Matt Pauley is joined by Brandon Sneide of "Dairyland Express" and "Game On Wisconsin". The wide-ranging conversations hits on the CBA negotiations but also on the overall state of baseball.

Tapping The Keg podcast is a weekly show where Charlie & Mitch talk about the biggest topics in Wisconsin sports. Before they dive in the show, Charlie goes on a rant about holiday light prices with the Milwaukee Brewers having the magic of lights event at American Family Field. The boys talk about why Brian Gutekunst deserves more respect and are people more likely to trust him if they decide to move on from Aaron Rodgers. Bucks talk focuses around Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis as both are off to hot starts. Lastly, is Marquette a blue blood?

Today we will be diving into the topics of scouting and player development. Working in sport obliviously, we have a passion for sport, right?!? We know a lot of the big names on the field, but we don't necessarily know how a lot of players got to where they are today. This is where scouting and player development comes in. Scouting and Player Development is one of the hottest careers in sport business and we will be chatting with two all-stars on the topic, Katie Mooradian and Daniel Sarna. While the gigs are out there, they can be hard to come by and there are very few resources giving you the direct path to get into this side of the industry. We did the research and chatted with professionals. From discussing various advanced radar technologies to life on the road, we cover it all. Let this episode serve as your resource to these careers and inspiration to chase your dreams!

Mike Moustakas is the second-highest paid players on the Cincinnati Reds roster and offloading his contract may single-handedly accomplish the mission to realign payroll. Why trading hims means only good things for the Reds and how they could accomplish it. Also, a thought on the Hall of Fame announcements that have been made and why the Hall of Fame is another thing that MLB has gotten wrong. Mike Moustakas had a rough year in 2021 and trading him right now would be at the lowest point in his value. However, trading him would also make trading one of Luis Castillo, Sonny Gray, or Tyler Mahle superfluous and that would be an amazing development in the Cincinnati Reds offseason plans. The trade may sound difficult, due to his value, but the Milwaukee Brewers pulled off a similar trade with Jackie Bradley Jr and actually received return value for him. Not to mention the fact that the Toronto Blue Jays were also in on the negotiations before the Boston Red Sox finalized the deal with the Brew Crew. The Reds could contact the Colorado Rockies about their desire to upgrade third base, the Washington Nationals about backing up Carter Kieboom, or the Arizona Diamondbacks about shoring up their lineup. If the Reds can sell another team on the bounce back of Moose, then they will reap the benefits of not having to trade a marquee talent from their rotation. Also, why it is important the MLB celebrates its great players while their still living. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr on Twitter and @carrjefff on Instagram Call or text (513) 549-0159 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

So what's better -- the adrenaline rush that comes from tanking a few years to try and peak with a great team in a few years, or the steady drumbeat of contention without the flare of high picks and lofty free-agent pursuits? A strange thing has happened in the National League Central within the first few weeks of the season: The next season appears to be over for three teams. With the Cubs ejecting their core, the Reds dropping salary, and the Pirates in another year of their multi-year rebuilding project, the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers are left with what appears, today, like a two-team race for the division crown. Oh, and the Brewers are pondering a trade of their best reliever, All-Star Josh Hader. This must be what Scott Boras meant about the 'race to the bottom.' Gordon Wittenmyer, baseball writer and Cubs beat reporter for NBCSports Chicago, joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick for a Best Podcast in Baseball episode to discuss the division race, tanking, and whether the Cubs are any better than when they started almost a decade ago -- or are they worse? The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closest by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
