In Episode 189, Bradford and Craig have returned to a new year and the same pod to discuss five mostly baseball topics.

1. Laborious, no I won’t give in, I won’t give in: MLB has an economic proposal finally. We're sure this will go well.

2. The Managerial Merry Go Round is in motion: Catching up on two new managers in Oakland and Queens.

3. Baseball for All: Rachel Balkovec takes over as manager of the Tampa Tarpons, and Genevieve Beacom debuts in the ABL.

4. Around the Horn: Retirements, some mergers and acquisitions, and a new bench coach in Anaheim.

5. Wrapped Up in Books: We plug the 2022 Baseball Prospectus Annual, because this is a Baseball Prospectus podcast.
