Jack Morris ~ IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FEAR! ~ Jim Rice
The Jonah Keri Podcast returns with its Canadian blend of baseball news and meta-talk. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports and MLB Network stops by to cover the trade deadline. We discuss the Dodgers’ pursuit of pitching; the fates of Zack Greinke, Cole Hamels, and Matt Garza; the surprisingly gun-shy Yankees; the stuck-in-limbo Jays; the what-the-hell-do-we-do-now Pirates, Mets, and Orioles; and a lot more.
The conversation then shifts to the state of the baseball journalism industry, with a focus on breaking-news reporting. How has Twitter changed the landscape? And can we trust what an agent tells us? Finally, Jon weighs in with Hall of Fame thoughts, including Jim Rice, Jack Morris, and Reggie Jackson being colossally wrong on a certain catcher.

1. Walt Davis Posted: July 12, 2012 at 12:44 AM (#4180718)So I'm left wondering what move the Yanks should pull the trigger on. A short-term rental on Hamels would make them pretty hard to beat but I don't see anything else particularly attractive. Unless Gardner's not coming back in which case they could use an OF.
At least Heyman changed his mind for the better on Tim Raines and Ron Santo, though. And since he's voting for Dave Parker and Dale Murphy in addition to Rice, I have to give him some points for having a philosophy -- he's voting for the other peak-only OF too.
The cuteness of the we-both-know-what-we're-really-talking-about-but-let's-not-say-it Boras discussion was amusing.
