Today on "A Podcast To Be Named Later" Chris Mitchell @CJMitch73 and Rob Neyer @RobNeyer discuss a variety of topics varying from the financial state of the game, the roll of advanced metrics in today's game and the impact and ranking of the top General Managers (Theo Epstein and Andre Friedman are the focus) and the change in how organizations prioritize bullpens and are willing to pay for them.
