Spring Training preview, bullpen breakdown & Kevin Mather debacle with ABL champion, Peter Moylan

DOB and EOF welcome back Peter Moylan, fresh off his championship-winning season in the Australian Baseball League as a pitching coach for the Melbourne Aces! Moylan briefly discusses his season as a coach for the Aces before the group pivots to Fernando Tatis Jr.'s record-setting contract, and postulates the value of Freddie Freeman's impending contract extension (5:15). How will a deadened ball impact players this season (11:15)? The trio talks about Spring Training and what to expect, plus what thoughts pinball around in Eric and Peter's heads when Spring Training is around the corner (27:00)? What is the complexion of the bullpen this year, especially since Mark Melancon is no longer a Brave (32:00)? The triumvirate also examines 2021's coaching staff, including Chipper Jones as a part-time hitting consultant (38:30). How will he influence Braves players and coaches? David, Eric, and Peter then dive into the Mariners' controversy with ex-CEO Kevin Mather, and how the club's former executive made remarks about the team to a local Rotary Club (48:30).
