This week on In A Pickle, we start with a major update on Terry Rozier. Last week we talked about the bribery allegations surrounding the former Hornets guard, and now an arbitrator has ruled that Rozier violated his NBA contract with the Miami Heat and must forfeit a significant portion of his $26.6 million salary from the 2025-26 season. While the exact amount remains unknown, the ruling found he breached his contract. Miami was required to continue paying him during the process, but it appears much of that money will be heading right back. We also discuss the changing court restrictions involving Heat and Hornets personnel.Then we revisit Floyd Mayweather's lawsuit drama. Former manager Jona Rechnitz is calling the lawsuit "fraud" and "nonsense," claiming he has text messages, photos, and videos proving Mayweather knew about the jewelry being pawned and where the money went. Rechnitz also addresses the mysterious jet allegations, saying the funds were used to pay off a multi-million-dollar loan attached to the aircraft. His biggest claim? That Mayweather is facing serious financial problems and is lashing out at those closest to him.We also discuss NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell declining to testify before the House Judiciary Committee regarding media rights deals and what that decision could mean.News: Former NBA player and longtime Bulls broadcaster Stacey King has passed away at age 59 following a reported fall at his home. A private jet scheduled to transport Yadier Molina and his family crashed in the Dominican Republic after declaring an emergency shortly after takeoff. Both pilots were killed. Nicole Brown Simpson's sister is calling on the NFL to retire O.J. Simpson's number 32, saying the number remains triggering nearly 32 years after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Brandon Aiyuk reportedly has an arrest warrant stemming from a misdemeanor speeding case tied to a video allegedly showing him speeding near Levi's Stadium. This Week's Biggest Pickle: Jonathan CooperDenver Broncos linebacker Jonathan Cooper earns this week's honor after a domestic dispute led to his arrest on two counts of domestic violence and one count of criminal mischief. According to reports, both Cooper and his longtime girlfriend, Jade Fiegen, were arrested following the incident. The allegations range from grabbing a phone and physical confrontation claims to accusations that Cooper threw Fiegen to the ground multiple times. Cooper has entered a not guilty plea, and both sides now face charges. The case heads to a motions hearing on July 6th, with a jury trial expected later in July. As always, we'll be keeping a close eye on the developments.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (6.8) Conway kicks off the hour with the latest on Primm casino resorts, as LV Petroleum emerges as a leading potential buyer and operator trying to save the properties before a possible July 4 shutdown. The desert drama continues as the Primm family looks for a new partner to keep the casino town alive. Then the news turns global and wild: a plane headed to pick up MLB legend Yadier Molina and his family crashes on its way to Texas, a massive 7.8 earthquake strikes the southern Philippines, and a rare 6.1 earthquake rattles off the coast of Cuba. The crew jumps into NBA Finals fever with Knicks vs. Spurs, Game 3, and the insane ticket prices surrounding New York’s run — from thousands just to get in the building to courtside seats going for hundreds of thousands. Later, Conway gets into new weight-loss drugs, changing body sizes, and how GLP-1s are creating chaos for retail returns as people keep swapping clothes while trying to find their new size. Plus, Bellio’s yacht wedding, Conway trying to escape a cruise, strange things spotted on walks, and one beard that was apparently a total turnoff. The hour wraps with the sad wave of Southern California restaurant closures, including memories of Gulliver’s in Newport Beach, as rising food costs, labor costs, regulations, and changing spending habits put pressure on longtime local favorites.

That also involves an emphasis on those teams' star center fielders, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, and Mickey Mantle, as well as the shift of the Giants and the Dodgers to the West Coast.

The seams that bind St. Louis baseball and the history of the game itself: A Glove Story

Best Podcast in Baseball

What is it with St. Louis and fielding, what are the seams to tie the city, its fondness for baseball, and defense together? That's the question that comes at the conclusion of a brand new episode of the Best Podcast in Baseball. Author and historian Ed Wheatley joins baseball writer and host Derrick Goold to discuss his new book, "The Finest in the Field: A History of Baseball Through 50 Iconic Gloves." The book uses art-worthy photos of famous gloves, from Bill Doak's that launched the modern glove to Bob Gibson's beloved glove without a logo, to tell the story about individual players, their gloves, and ultimately baseball history. The game itself has changed because of the advances in gloves, from tossing pitches like horseshoes to firing 104-mph fastballs because the catcher's mitt can now handle that. Well, mostly. Most everyone remembers their first glove and their favorite glove, and some big leaguers go whole careers with only one glove, while others get a new glove every season. When Masyn Winn finally got a grip on his first career Rawlings Gold Glove Award, he won the 100th in Cardinals history. The Cardinals are the first big-league club to reach 100 Gold Gloves, and the team just behind them is the Baltimore Orioles, who of course used to be the St. Louis Browns. Four of the finest fielding third baseman in baseball history have called St. Louis' hot corner home -- most recently Nolan Arenado and Scott Rolen -- but the all-time leader in Gold Glove Awards at the position played in Baltimore. The all-time leader at shorstop is a Cardinal, Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, and Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina won three Platinum Glove Awards before anyone else won a second one. Stan Musial was the first to use a style of glove that he popularized and then, decades later, became even more popular for outfielders. Oh, and Rawlings is based in St. Louis. And, heck, the play that launched the Cardinals' World Series history was a tag at second, not a hit. And it was applied with a Bill Doak model glove made by Rawlings. Wheatley, one of the biggest champions of Browns history and a keeper of the St. Louis Browns' flame, considers that question about St. Louis and the deep roots of defense and comes to a compelling conclusion why.  More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. In its 14th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes.

If you sensed some melancholy from both the Cardinals as they announced trading a Hall of Fame-caliber player to Arizona and also from that player, Nolan Arenado, as he described feeling "in the way" where once he expected to retire, that's fair. There was that disappointment on both sides as what could have been came to an end. In a brand new episode of the Best Podcast in Baseball, St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold and editor Nathan Mills discuss the conclusion of a trade more than a year in the making and potentially a streak that stretches back more than a century. For more than 100 consecutive years, without pause, the Cardinals have had a Hall of Fame player or manager in uniform with the team, and that streak could end with 2025. Or, it will be a young player who has yet to emerge as an All-Star who we'll discover in hindsight continued it. The Cardinals reach their annual Winter Warm-up after trading their third namebrand All-Star of the offseason and facing a difficult task of selling a team to a fan base that already had a record-low appetite for purchasing tickets. The pulse of the fans will be on display during the weekend Warm-up, but less clear is how the Cardinals will promote their future and what jerseys will fans be able to purchase. Mills and Goold discuss that and more, like who takes over at third base for the Cardinals and who should take over at third to excite the fans. The podcast concludes with one things fans can look forward to doing in 2026 and how that one thing, voting Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina into the team's Hall of Fame, can be used to create an event that will thrill Cardinals Nation as well give the current Cardinals a feel of what the ballpark is like at its best. Halls of various fames become a recurring theme of the podcast, allowing Goold to note there may not be a Hall of Fame at his high school but he can totally brag about being in class with a future astronaut, Jack Fischer.

Cardinals counterintuitive holiday shopping list could leave a hole in tradition

There should be ballads written about Willson Contreras' brief time with the Cardinals. From his arrival as the All-Star eager for the challenge of following Yadier Molina, to that weird week when he took fly balls in left field and stopped catching, to the injuries and fractures and ultimately his move to first base, out from behind home plate without skipping a beat at the plate. Contreras brought both joy and fury to the Cardinals' lineup and clubhouse, and at some point his absence will be felt by the teammates who remain. But he won't be a alone. In a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball, recorded on Christmas Eve, Post-Dispatch editor Nathan Mills and baseball writer Derrick Goold discuss the Cardinals' counterintuitive shopping list for the holidays and what is missing from it and possibly from the clubhouse during his reboot of an organization. The Cardinals traded a starter (Sonny Gray) only to sign a starter (Dustin May) a few weeks later; they traded a right-handed bat from the middle of the order (Contreras) only to suggest a few hours later that they would now look for a right-handed bat to add to the roster. The Cardinals are swapping All-Stars for pitching depth and then looking to replace those veterans with players on shorter-term deals or with more control and less cost. What's missing from those moves is the leadership and experience that the Cardinals have long championed as part of their continuity, as part of their identity as a club. And more trades ahead could mean the departure of Brendan Donovan, who personifies the way the Cardinals like to play and be in the clubhouse; JoJo Romreo, the seasoned reliever in the bullpen; and Nolan Arenado, the future Hall of Famer and Gold Glove-cornerstone at third.  Mills and Goold discuss what happens when a young group of players isn't inheriting expectations but tasked with trying to grow them.

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. As the Cardinals have retreated from annual October appearances they have also faded from the national spotlight. They haven't been historically bad. They haven't been as good as their recent history. Jordan Shusterman, senior writer at Yahoo! Sports and host of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, begins a converation on a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball there: Their absence from the national conversation and what will get them back. The answer, of course, is identifying what current players must be a part of the next contending core. That drives this new episode of the long-running Cardinals podcast. When Shusterman joined BPIB and host Derrick Goold for this recording, he entered his name as "#1 Jimmy Crooks Fan," and that fondness for the Cardinals' left-handed hitting catching prospect came up as the two baseball writers tracked the list of teams that have missed the postseason in the same years as the Cardinals. One of those teams -- the San Francisco Giants -- is not only the subject of a forthcoming article by Shusterman but also one of the teams interested in the Cardinals' Brendan Donovan and also a team that shares a standout trait with the Cardinals. Both clubs featured Hall of Fame caliber catchers as their cornerstones and have faded in the years since Buster Posey and Yadier Molina retired. The podcast also includes a discussion on sleeper picks for the future core and how lefty Liam Doyle, the Cardinals' first-round pick in the recent draft, could wake up the ballpark with his debut and personality, if the performance is there to match. He's compared to a closer, just at the start of the game. Plus, did Cardinals' fatigue contribute to the Cardinals' drift out of the national headlines?

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 It's been a minute since a brand-new Best Podcast in Baseball and there's a lot to catch up on. For the first time in 18 years, the Cardinals have a new president of baseball operations, and for the first time in even longer they're talking about a team-building plan that doesn't include promises of aiming to contend for a World Series championship. That will likely mean an active winter of trades. At the same time, two prominent former Cardinals, Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, are throwing their names in the ring for manager vacancies elsewhere, with at least two teams (and likely a third soon) entertaining Pujols as a strong candidate for their open position. And, in the past week, a former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt retired from the position with San Diego, spurring conversation about why he left both jobs abruptly and resurfacing reasons reported in the Post-Dispatch and elsewhere after his sudden firing in 2021. Former players and old conversations all swirl together to invite the question on whether to truly move in a fresh direction did the Cardinals need a stretch like this that brings closure to the past and signals the new era. Kevin Wheeler, of KMOX/104.1 FM, joins Derrick Goold for a (long overdue) new episode of BPIB to discuss that and more. The "just hanging on" kitten plays a prominent role in the conversation.
