What to Make of Spring Trends, and Signs of Hope as Opening Day Approaches

Opening Day is three weeks away and reason for optimism extends beyond the Padres' loaded roster. Derek and Darnay reflect on the last year since COVID-19 shut down the sports world (1:25), then discuss the possibility of fans at Opening Day and what we learned this week from team CEO Erik Greupner (12:13). Something or nothing - the guys assess some Spring Training trends (25:08), before closing with some thoughts on why the MacKenzie Gore decision is a no-brainer (43:25).
