A.J. Preller, Adam Jones and whether the Cubs can win it all

The StewPod: Baseball, pop culture & more

The world of baseball gave us three questions this week: What was A.J. Preller thinking? Was Adam Jones right? Can the Cubs really do it? We tackle all three (and more!) in this week's StewPod, which finds Liz Roscher joining me. We dig into whether the Padres should be so quick to forgive Preller, their GM who was suspended Thursday for keeping a rule-skirting player-health database to gain the upper hand in trades. Now that the Cubs are division winners, we're discussing what it will take for them to actually break their curse. And in the case of Jones, I talk about a piece of the conversation that so many baseball fans seem to be missing. Here's a full rundown of the show: - Welcomes and where's Chris Cwik - How bad is the Padres situation? - Should Preller get off this easy from Padres brass? - Can the Cubs win it all? - My best possible World Series outcome - What people are missing about the Adam Jones situation - "Pitch" and whether people will get mad at fictional baseball diversity - Important questions: Getting to know Liz [Music: Local Natives - "Mother Emanuel"]
